Human Nature - Nine Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet

A captivating exploration of climate change that uses nine different emotions to better understand the science, history, and future of our evolving planet Scientist Kate Marvel has seen the world end before, sometimes several times a day. In the computer models she uses to study climate change, it''s easy to simulate rising temperatures, catastrophic outcomes, and bleak futures. But climate change isn''t just happening in those models. It''s happening here, to the only good planet in the universe. It''s happening to us . And she has feelings about that. Human Nature is a deeply felt inquiry into our rapidly changing Earth. In each chapter, Marvel uses a different emotion to explore the science and stories behind climate change. As expected, there is anger, fear, and grief--but also wonder, hope, and love. With her singular voice, Marvel takes us on a soaring journey, one filled with mythology, physics, witchcraft, bad movies, volcanoes, Roman emperors, sequoia groves, and the many small miracles of nature we usually take for granted. Hopeful, heartbreaking, and surprisingly funny, Human Nature is a vital, wondrous exploration of how it feels to live in a changing world. Human Nature is a biography of the Earth in nine emotions: Wonder Anger Guilt Fear Grief Surprise Pride Hope Love
