Atmospheric: The Burning Story of Climate Change
We can't survive without Earth's atmosphere, yet we treat it as if it's a giant rubbish dump for our greenhouse gas emissions. Atmospheric cuts through the many voices raised around climate change to tell the history of our mistreatment of the atmosphere, why it's putting our climate at risk and what we can do about it.
Confused about climate change? Not convinced it's as bad as people are saying?
This could be the most important book you read in your life.

The Drum series combines first-person accounts and non-fiction to bring history roaring to life. The points of history are quite diverse in subject and time-period, ranging from historical figures such as Alexander the Great and Joan of Arc, sobering battles of the First and Second World Wars and Vietnam, to a lighter account of the highs and lows of the modern Olympic Games. These historical accounts are well-researched and written to be quickly engaging.
