In Under a White Sky, Elizabeth Kolbert takes a hard look at the new world we’re creating. Meets biologists who are trying to preserve the world’s rarest fish which live in a tiny pool in the Mojave, engineers who are turning carbon emissions to stone in Iceland, biologists who are trying to develop a super coral that can survive on a hotter planet, physicists who are contemplating shooting tiny diamonds into the stratosphere to cool the earth.
Shares how the very sorts of interventions that have imperilled our natural world are increasingly seen as the only hope for it’s salvation. Inspiring, Under a White Sky is an utterly original examination of the global challenges we face.
