Summary:

An unprecedented union of scientific analysis and stunning photography illustrating the effects of climate change on the global ecosystem. Going beyond the headlines, this work by leading NASA climate scientist Gavin Schmidt and master photographer Joshua Wolfe illustrates as never before the ramifications of shifting climate. Photographic spreads show retreating glaciers, sinking villages in Alaska’s tundra, and drying lakes. The text follows adventurous scientists through the ice caps at the poles to the coral reefs of the tropical seas. Marshaling data spanning centuries and continents, the book sparkles with cutting-edge research and visual records, including contributions from experts on atmospheric science, oceanography, paleoclimatology, technology, politics, and the polar regions. As Jeffrey D. Sachs writes in his powerful foreword, “Climate Change is a tour de force of public education.”

160 color illustrations.

Excellent Introduction
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

For what it aims to do, this book is excellent. The authors aim at a basic but accurate introduction to anthropogenic global warming (AGW)in an accessible and attractive format. Included are not only the basics of AGW per se but also discussion of how the different forms of climate science are done, the consilient evidence, and a brief but useful introduction to policy issues. There are many stunning photographs and the text sections are clear and concise.

excellent!
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

An amazing amount of detailed but coherent information in one place. It also really lets you know that even this collection is just the tip of the (melting) ice berg of evidence and knowledge.

It's not 'dumbed down' either which I appreciated. Unfortunately this stuff can't be dumbed down enough to be intelligible to the wacko 'deniers', and if it WAS dumbed down that much it wouldn't be convincing. This isn't a problem with the book, but does underscore the intractable problem: NO book no matter how good can make the case to people who aren't willing (or are unable) to pay attention.

Useless
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1

This pictorial does little to enlighten the debate over the role of anthropogenic carbon in climate change.

Good Summary of AGW
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This book makes the case for anthropomorphic global warming in accessible way for nonscientists like me. The photos and occassional graphs gave life to the text. An excellent read but a very depressing subject. It's even more depressing that all this hard work of many hard working and dedicated climatologists is getting picked apart and misconstrued by Fox News and the denialist industry spawned by the dollars of the carbon extraction industries. But that's another book, Climate Cover-Up by James Hoggan.

A coffee table book with substance
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5

This book provides a useful précis of current climate science accompanied by enjoyable photographs.

Those looking for in depth explanations of anthropogenic climate change will not find them here, but thorough education is not the book's goal. I found it informative and enjoyable.
