Our Final Warning: Six Degrees of Climate Emergency
by Mark LynasWe are living in a climate emergency. But how much worse could it get? Will civilization collapse? Are we already past the point of no return? What kind of future can our children expect? Rigorously cataloguing the very latest climate science, Mark Lynas explores the course we have set for Earth over the next century and beyond. Degree by terrifying degree, he charts the likely consequences of global heating and the ensuing climate catastrophe. <P><P> At one degree – the world we are already living in – vast wildfires scorch California and Australia, while monster hurricanes devastate coastal cities. At two degrees the Arctic ice cap melts away, and coral reefs disappear from the tropics. At three, the world begins to run out of food, threatening millions with starvation. At four, large areas of the globe are too hot for human habitation, erasing entire nations and turning billions into climate refugees. At five, the planet is warmer than for 55 million years, while at six degrees a mass extinction of unparalleled proportions sweeps the planet, even raising the threat of the end of all life on Earth. <P><P> These escalating consequences can still be avoided, but time is running out. We must largely stop burning fossil fuels within a decade if we are to save the coral reefs and the Arctic. If we fail, then we risk crossing tipping points that could push global climate chaos out of humanity’s control. <P><P> This book must not be ignored. It really is our final warning.

The Eagle and the River
by Charles CraigheadWyoming's Snake River is home to many creatures--elk, moose, coyotes, beavers, and birds of all kinds. It is winter, and the animals are searching for food--for grass and twigs under the snow, for plants and seeds in the cold water, or for the bits and bones leftover from another animal's meal. High in the sky, a bald eagle soars in lazy circles. It sees the bare trees, the blanket of snow covering the land, and the dark ribbon of water that is the Snake River. From the air, the eagle watches each creature. And it, too, searches for food. As it circles over the moving water, it watches for fish, waiting for one to come near the surface and become its supper.

Glencoe Earth Science
by Susan Leach Snyder Ralph Feather Jr.Earth science is the study of planet Earth and its place in space. Think about that. Where would you begin to study Earth? Would you break apart a mineral and magnify it a thousand times, like the sulfur crystals shown here, to unlock the secrets of its structure? Or would you gaze at the skies to learn more about our planet? Earth scientists do both. They study Earth close up and from a distance, using satellite cameras. In this unit, you will learn more about Earth science and the materials, such as minerals, that make up Earth.
