Weather & Climate

A gripping, eye-opening, and ultimately hopeful look at the defining geopolitical challenges of our time by three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas L. Friedman.

In this brilliant international bestseller, Thomas L. Friedman takes a hard look at the three monumental forces reshaping our world: global warming ("hot"), the rapid leveling of the economic playing field through globalization ("flat"), and staggering global population growth ("crowded"). Friedman masterfully explains how the convergence of these trends threatens our planet's stability, driving resource depletion, climate shifts, and the rise of dangerous energy regimes.

Savage Earth offers an investigation into the volatile tectonic forces that continuously reshape our planet. Published by HarperCollins, this large-format hardcover volume serves as the official companion to the highly successful television documentary series. The text masterfully demystifies complex earth sciences across four structured core components: the fundamentals of plate tectonics, the mechanics and historic devastation of major earthquakes, the explosive dynamics of volcanoes, and the cutting-edge predictive forecasting technologies utilized by modern engineers. Written by a veteran university geography lecturer, the work balances accessible science and clear geological diagrams with dramatic first-hand survivor accounts, historical narratives, and striking full-color photography of global natural disasters.
