Books About Our Planet

A child pointing to text in an illustrated book, showcasing reading and learning.


Over the years a vibrant and exciting array of books for the general audience has been written about our warming world. From Rachel Carson’s totemic Silent Spring to Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything, authors have used always-improving data to illustrate increasingly vivid and cinematic descriptions of our real planet. This area of the blog is a space to appreciate books that further our understanding of the world. Over time, I will build up a bank of reviews of books which in some way relate to an aspect of our planet. The hope is that my love of books like these can spread and help others understand what an amazing world we call home.
