This is THE book on THE issue of the day. One of the reasons for this is that Flannery is a paleontologist, deciding in the late 1990s that he could not continue to ignore climate change - the impacts are so pervasive and universal, we cannot assume this is somebody else's problem. Written with intelligence, clarity and passion, NHBS has been highlighting `Weather Makers' as a book that is a must read for all our customers, staff, suppliers and friends.



The Weather Makers tells the dramatic story of the earth's climate, of how it has changed, how we have come to understand it, and of what that means for the future. Tim Flannery's gripping narrative takes the reader on an extraordinary journey into the past and around the globe, bringing us closer to the science than ever before. Along the way he explodes the many illusions that have grown up around this subject.
