You will get exactly what you expect with this book: A collection of excellent pieces from the New Yorker on all things environment and climate change. I was positively surprised to see some of these pieces dating back as far as 1989. I also loved the organization of the articles into different subcategories. As the foreword says: “In this anthology, you will find different approaches to climate change, across a range of geographies. [...] ‘The Fragile Earth’ seeks to illuminate the emergency from a multitude of perspectives.” It certainly managed that.
Just like the New Yorker itself, however, this isn’t exactly a book I was able to read cover to cover. Just one article once in a while was plenty for me.
