Routledge, New York, 2004. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. Illustrator: Gary Braasch [Photographs]. For an increasing number of people, global warming is not an academic and scientific debate, but a matter of survival. As the planet warms at a rate of four degrees Fahrenheit per century, violent storms are increasing in frequency, icebergs are melting, sea level is rising, species are losing their habitats, and temperature records are being broken. Feeling the Heat consists of chapter-length visits by well-known authors to actual world "hot" spots, where people are already coping day-to-day with the consequences of climactic disruption. The locations for the book were strategically chosen because each represents a separate and important global warming impact, such as rising tides, melting glaciers, evolving ecosystems and air pollution. Feeling the Heat takes global warming out of the realm of armchair speculation and arcane scientific debate, revealing the process of climate change to… Read More

Scribe, Melbourne, 2009. Softcover. Good Condition. While reporting just outside of Darfur, Stephan Faris discovered that climate change was at the root of that conflict, and began to wonder what current and impending - and largely unanticipated - crises such changes have in store for the world. Forecast provides the answers. Global warming will spur the spread of many diseases. Malaria is gaining ground in Africa. The warming world will shift huge populations and potentially redraw political alliances around the globe, driving environmentalists into the hands of anti-immigrant groups. Crops will fail in previously lush places and thrive in some formerly barren zones, altering huge industries and remaking traditions. The result of wide travel and reporting, Forecast is a powerful, gracefully written account of the surprising ways that climate change will affect the world in the near future - politically, economically, and culturally. 242 pages.

Sidgwick & Jackson, London, 1990. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. An exploration of a subject which concerns us all: our immediate environment. Looking at how and why we arrange our daily lives as we do, the author examines our homes, inside and out; our gardens and neighbourhoods; our places of work and reaction; our cars. He asks why we plan and decorate our homes in the way that we do; why we choose certain colours, patterns, sounds and smells and not others; why some people prefer a noisy, crowded urban environment over an isolated country setting. From showing what our surroundings say about us - how they reflect our personalities, self-image, status and ambitions - the author moves on to examine how our surroundings affect us. How should we cope with the stresses of city life or with the changing patterns of country living? How is our behaviour affected by the changing face of the high street and the new shopping centres? Does environment influence why and where people commit… Read More
