The author who Jeremy Scahill calls the 'quintessential unembedded reporter' visits 'hot spots' around the world in a global quest to discover how we will cope with our planet’s changing ecosystems.
Matching awe for the majestic intricacy and beauty of nature with exacting and alarming dispatches, Jamail calls on us to respect facts, honor life, and recognize that we are facing increasingly tragic disruptions and loss. Enlightening, heartbreaking, and necessary.
This book will help readers understand how ecosystems have been affected by climate change and how inaction has potentially doomed further generations.
Jamail’s journalistic skills allow him to evoke [the book's] details with a succinct power that many other accounts might lack, but the facts themselves, told to him by on expert after another, are as familiar as they are bleak ... Even in the book’s most optimistic moments, this sere tone remains.
