Elizabeth Kolbert's environmental classic Field Notes from a Catastrophe first developed out of a groundbreaking, National Magazine Award-winning three-part series in The New Yorker. She expanded it into a still-concise yet richly researched and damning book about climate change: a primer on the greatest challenge facing the world today. But in the years since, the story has continued to develop; the situation has become more dire, even as our understanding grows. Now, Kolbert returns to the defining book of her career. She'll add a chapter bringing things up-to-date on the existing text, plus she'll add three new chapters--on ocean acidification, the tar sands, and a Danish town that's gone carbon neutral--making it, again, a must-read for our moment.
EDITORIAL :
“Among the few irreplaceable volumes yet written about climate change.” Bill McKibben, Boston Globe
“If you have time this year for just one book on science, nature, or the environment, this should be it.” San Diego Union-Tribune
“A perfect primer on global warming. It might be the most important book you read this year.” Cleveland Plain Dealer
REVIEW :
The book offers case histories of women who have overcome PPD and PPPD and of others who tragically harmed their children or themselves because their illness was never diagnosed. They are after her and seeking to find her.
The book has GREAT interaction between the characters. She is rescued by the man, Conner, from her dreams and his brothers. He doesn't believe she is a witch and sets out to prove it, only to fall under her "magic" spell.
The question that drives Mitch thru the first half of the book--specifically how can someone live for six hundred years and leave no trace or record is never answered. What this book is not: A comprehensive textbook that covers every aspect of the custody evaluation process and all the reader will ever need to know about this topic. The joy Lilith had in being with the children and Andrea and of course Mitch was just so infectious that
