50 Climate Questions: A Blizzard of Blistering Facts

The quirky questions in this paper-over-board earth science book yield a broad discussion of climate, while cartoons provide light entertainment. Topics include global warming’s effect on the Arctic (“Why is it raining inside my igloo?”) and how a cooling climate 2.5 million years ago forced early humans to diversify their diets. Christie also provides insight into weather events throughout history—for example, how weather change contributed to civil unrest that spawned the French Revolution. A fun and informative resource. Ages 9–up. (June)
