In We Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate, bestselling author Michael Grunwald argues that the greatest challenge facing our species is slowing our relentless expansion of farmland into nature. Even if we quit fossil fuels, we’ll keep hurtling toward climate chaos if we don’t solve our food and land problems – now. In Sea of Grass: The Conquest, Ruin, and Redemption of Nature on the American Prairie, Dave Hage and Josephine Marcotty spotlight an ecological marvel under siege. The prairie is home to some of the nation’s most iconic creatures: bison, elk, wolves, pronghorn, prairie dogs, and bald eagles. It rivals the rainforest in its biological diversity – and it is disappearing even faster. In Ten Thousand Central Parks: A Climate-Change Parable, David Brown Morris challenges the despair of inaction, using the history of Central Park as an urgent environmental moral story. America’s first large-scale public works project, the park transformed a polluted terrain into an 843-acre refuge – and offers a model for the future.
