Reviews

From the desert of Arizona to the waters of Dominica and the Nile, from the glaciers of Antarctica to the streets of Bangkok and New Orleans, House on Fire: Dispatches from a Climate-Changed World is a dazzling and terrifying array of real-life parables about the way the changing climate is changing our lives.

Part diary of apocalypse, part celebration of all the small beauties under threat, House on Fire is essential reading. --Hellen Phillips, author of The Need
