I'm back! A busy fall has kept me from posting in a long while. I have been able to read a few books, but not all were directly related to climate science (Micheal Pollan's In Defense of Food was great!). Really though, I just haven't kept up with my writing, so I should have two posts in the next few weeks. This is the first.
Bill McKibben, now a famous environmentalist (first for his writing, now for his advocacy), wrote The End of Nature in 1988 when popular non-fiction about climate change really didn't exist yet and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring (published in 1962) was still the preeminent piece in the libraries of environmentalists (note that I haven't yet read Silent Spring, but I will soon!). Nowadays The End of Nature is considered a formative work in environmental non-fiction.
