The heat will kill you first: life and death on a scorched planet
(Large Print)
Description
"Heat is the first order threat that drives all other impacts of the climate crisis. And as the temperature rises, it is revealing fault lines in our governments, politics, economy, and values. The hotter it gets, the deeper and wider our fault lines will open. The Heat Will Kill You First is about the extreme ways in which our planet is already changing and the impact that will have on everything from our food supply to disease outbreaks. Goodell's new book may be his most provocative yet, explaining how extreme heat will dramatically change the world as we know it"--
