07.10: The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change
2014-06-13 21:34:10| Powells Books Events Calendar
Climate change is no laughing matter — but maybe it should be. The topic is so critical that everyone, from students to policy makers to voters, needs a quick and easy guide to the basics. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change (Island Press) entertains as it educates, delivering a unique and enjoyable presentation of mind-blowing facts and critical concepts. "Stand-up economist" Yoram Bauman (with award-winning illustrator Grady Klein) created the funniest overview of climate science, predictions, and policy that you'll ever read. You'll giggle, but you'll also learn — about everything from Milankovitch cycles to carbon taxes. This event is sponsored by the Oregon Environmental Council.
