The Hot Topic is a collaborative work by one of the most respected scientists and one of the most dynamic writers in the field of climate change. Sir David King, world-renowned scientist and the Government's Chief Scientific Adviser, is widely credited with persuading Tony Blair to act on climate change and with getting key international figures around the negotiating table, and has a significant media profile. Last year awareness about global warming reached a tipping point. The Hot Topic goes beyond a statement of the problem to address in detail what can be done to answer the challenge on a personal, social, national and international level. A clear, short and engaging book that approaches the whole issue - the present problem and the future solutions - in a straightforward way, it is bound to receive massive attention from industry, the media and government alike. While there have been many other books about the problem of climate change, none has addressed what we can and should do about it so clearly and persuasively.
En "Cataclismo climático", Gabrielle Walker narra la intrigante búsqueda del científico Paul Hoffman para demostrar una audaz hipótesis sobre una super glaciación que cubrió la Tierra. A través de sus aventuras, se exploran las señales del pasado geológico y la resiliencia del planeta, combinando ciencia y fascinación.
