Today's headlines reflect the seriousness of climate change as heat waves, droughts, and flooding cause deaths among vulnerable populations and create millions of refugees. Rigorous in its science and powerful in its message, this handsomely illustrated book provides a fast, highly effective way of conveying large amounts of information through the medium of the map. Over 50 full-color maps and graphics cover the signs and drivers of change, threats to the environment, implications for human health and well-being, and international and national responses. 128 pp. February.
