About This Item
Columbia University Press, 2014. Soft cover. As New. 12mo - over 6? - 7?" tall. Columbia University Press, 2014. Small Paperback As New. 104 pages, 6.75 x 4.75 inches. Oreskes and Conway's all too plausible history of the century to come is in the spirit of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley in the attempt to ward off the oncoming disaster. The year is 2393 and the world is unrecognizable. Clear warnings of climate catastrophe went ignored for decades leading to soaring temperatures, rising seas, and widespread drought everywhere and finally the disintegration of the West Antarctica Ice Sheet leading to mass migration and a complete reshuffing of the world order. A gripping account of how the children of the Enlightenment --the political and economic elites of the so-called advanced industrial societies--failed to act, and so brought about the collapse of Western civilization. 2014, Columbia University Press.
