How We Know What We Know About Our Changing Climate: Scientists and Kids Explore Global Warming, by Lynne Cherry and Gary Braasch, is an engaging and empowering look at the science of climate and how kids can learn by becoming citizen scientists.

It was written especially for middle schoolers and their teachers, and a special page shows how much carbon dioxide can be reduced as kids work together to reduce climate change.
This book replaces fear and dread over global warming with knowledge and the assurance that actions can be taken that help everyone and the world.

What Matters
The World's Preeminent Photojournalists and Thinkers Depict Essential Issues of Our Time

Created by New York Times best-selling author/editor David Elliot Cohen

What Matters asks: What are the essential issues of our time? What are the pictures that will spark public outrage and spur reform? The answer appears in 18 powerful, page-turning stories by the foremost photojournalists of our age, edited by The New York Times best-selling author/editor David Elliot Cohen (A Day in the Life and America 24/7 series), and featuring trenchant commentary from well-recognized experts and thinkers in appropriate fields. Photographer Gary Braasch and climate-change guru Bill McKibben provide "A Global Warming Travelogue" that takes us from ice caves in Antarctica to smoke-spewing coal plants in Beijing.

For more than a century, photography has revealed truths, exposed lies, advanced the public discourse, and inspired people to demand change. Socially conscious pioneers with cameras transformed the world—and that legacy lives on in this eye-opening, thought-provoking, and (we hope) action-inducing book. Like Jacob Riis's How the Other Half Lives, Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, and Jonathan Schell's The Fate of the Earth before it, the editor of What Matters believes these photos and stories will fundamentally alter the way we see and understand the human race and our planet.
