5.0 out of 5 starsIn the Shadow of Melting Glaciers is Tremendous
By Quinn on April 9, 2010
Format: Paperback
This new book is simply fantastic. It puts a real, human face on the complex abstractions we associate with climate change. The writing is sharp, alive and makes plain the author's authentic and deep understanding of his subject. Carey manages to make technical and historical matters not only entirely accessible but extremely interesting. The book reads like a story yet teaches like a text. I've read so much about climate change and I think In the Shadow of Melting Glaciers is the most important addition to climate change work since An Inconvenient Truth. Can't recommend it enough.

5.0 out of 5 starsCollege-level collections strong in climate change and South American experiences need this
By Midwest Book Review on July 20, 2010
Format: Paperback
In the Shadow of Melting Glaciers: Climate Change and Andean Society provides a strong survey of the science and social impact of melting glaciers, using Andean social experience as the foundation for this survey. How glacier melt affects real people on a daily basis is presented in this focus on how the Andean people have witnessed, experienced, and handled the effects of climate change and natural disasters for more than a century. College-level collections strong in climate change and South American experiences need this.
