Elizabeth Kolbert's environmental classic Field Notes from a Catastrophe first developed out of a groundbreaking award-winning three-part series in The New Yorker. She expanded it into a still-concise yet richly researched and damning book about climate change: a primer on the greatest challenge facing the world today. In the years since the story has continued to develop; the situation has become more dire even as our understanding of it grows. Now Kolbert returns to the defining book of her career. She'll add a chapter bringing things up to date on the existing text plus she'll add three new chapters - on ocean acidification the tar sands and a Danish town that's gone carbon neutral. It will once again be a must-read for our moment.
