Field Notes from a Catastrophe
Field Notes from a Catastrophe – Review
Plenty of books have been written on climate change: so many that an original glance at FIELD NOTES FROM A CATASTROPHE: MAN, NATURE NAD CLIMATE CHANGE might lead to the question of the need for another. Journalist Elizabeth Kolbert’s ecological consideration is more than a rehash of ideas, however: she traveled to the Arctic, interviewed researchers and environmentalists alike, and now explains the science, studies, and links between climate change and mysteriously vanished civilizations of the past. From politics and special studies to those secretly watching their worlds go due to these changes, FIELD NOTES FROM A CATASTROPHE quickly grew out of a three-part series for the New Yorker and brings home the importance of environmental changes.
