Summary

The global scale of climate change often feels beyond our comprehension. In The Atlas of a Changing Climate, ecologist Brian Buma helps us envision--both literally and figuratively--the history, present, and possible futures of the imperiled ecosystems directly influencing our lives. By presenting the forces driving Earth's changes through illuminating maps, charts, and infographics, Buma proves the depth of our connectivity to our planet, revealing both the vulnerability--and hope--intrinsic in that link
