Climate change, visualized. Climate change, shrinking wildlife habitats, rising sea levels, and vanishing species. These are big, important ideas that deserve a proper exploration - just the type of revealing journey you will experience in The Atlas of a Changing Climate. Ecologist Brian Buma helps us envision - both literally and figuratively - the history, present, and possible futures of the imperiled ecosystems directly influencing our lives. By presenting the forces driving Earth's changes through illuminating maps, charts, and infographics, he proves the depth of our connectivity to our planet, revealing both the vulnerability - and hope - intrinsic in that link.

The ecosystem - past, present, future

The Atlas of a Changing Climate documents the measurable changes in our ecosystem using an accessible, conversational we're-in-this-together tone. I expected lots of snazzy infographics, but instead, it leaned more towards beautiful vintage and contemporary geographical maps and statistical models of a more academic nature. This is a very comprehensive collection of historical, current, and predicted data of the earth's ecosystems, explained in layman's terms.

A global problem explained in Bite-sized sections

This timely, illustrated guide to climate change highlights causes for concerns in changes that impact the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, urban environment, and biosphere. Author Brian Buma succinctly covers this global problem with case studies, historical data, and clear diagrams. A fantastic read and fabulous resource for a lay person to get a general understanding of climate change. I plan to add this to my classroom and school library.

Absolutely beautiful book - images and text

A wonderful exploration of how the world works at the scale of climate - a great read for all audiences. I really enjoyed the straightforward, down to earth explanation of the science, linked to the amazing imagery. It's hard to find a book that isn't too text heavy or, alternatively, just imagery. This is the perfect combination. If you want to understand climate and ecology - even without a deep science background - this is for you.
