Sobre este artículo
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2007. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Signed on the title page. The question at the heart of this book is whether climate change is "increasing the ferocity" of hurricanes. Mooney, a science journalist, grew up in New Orleans, and so this in-depth investigation, which profiles scientists on either side of the debate, was inspired, or compelled, when Hurricane Katrina devastated his mother's house. Now a journalist covering climate, energy, and the environment for the Washington Post, he won a Pulitzer Prize in 2020 for a series of articles on climate change. A near fine book because of light bumping to spine ends, in a near fine jacket with an oval, gold "Autographed Copy" sticker on the front cover. We invite you to explore our dedicated, growing collection of signed and inscribed climate change books. Please inquire for photos.
Sinopsis
One of the leading science journalists and commentators working today, Chris Mooney delves into a red-hot debate in meteorology: whether the increasing ferocity of hurricanes is connected to global warming. In the wake of Katrina, Mooney follows the careers of leading scientists on either side of the argument through the 2006 hurricane season, tracing how the media, special interests, politics, and the weather itself have skewed and amplified what was already a fraught scientific debate. As Mooney puts it: "Scientists, like hurricanes, do extraordinary things at high wind speeds." Mooney—a native of New Orleans—has written a fascinating and urgently compelling book that calls into question the great inconvenient truth of our day: Are we responsible for making hurricanes even bigger monsters than they already are?

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
