Life on a Different Planet

by Randi Hacker, Ron Barrett (Illustrator)

Overview

Welcome to life on a different planet!

And by "different planet", of course, we don't mean Mars or Saturn or even Betelgeuse 5. We mean Earth which is turning into a different and less familiar planet before our very eyes because of climate change. This book is your field guide to life on this new version of Earth. It gives you the information you need to understand what's happening and to adapt to a new environment, it empowers you to take action that will change the behaviors that got us into this mess and it guides you in ways to imagine and realize a new world that is better than the one you are inheriting.

It's a big job.

Let's get started.
