Since then, the\u003cem\u003e New Yorker \u003c\/em\u003ehas devoted enormous attention to climate change, describing the causes of the crisis, the political and ecological conditions we now find ourselves in, and the scenarios and solutions we face. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Fragile Earth\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of climate change--its past, present, and future--taking readers from Greenland to the Great Plains, and into both laboratories and rain forests. It features some of the best writing on global warming from the last three decades, including Bill McKibben's seminal essay \"The End of Nature,\" the first piece to popularize both the science and politics of climate change for a general audience, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning work of Elizabeth Kolbert, as well as Kathryn Schulz, Dexter Filkins, Jonathan Franzen, Ian Frazier, Eric Klinenberg, and others. The result, in its range, depth, and passion, promises to bring light, and sometimes heat, to the great emergency of our age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinder, Henry:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHenry Finder\u003c\/strong\u003e has been the editorial director of the \u003cem\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e since 1997.
