**CHOSEN BY BILL GATES AND BARACK OBAMA AS A SUMMER 2021 READ**
'Important, necessary, urgent and phenomenally interesting' HELEN
MACDONALD, New York Times The author of the international
bestseller The Sixth Extinction returns to humanity's
transformative impact on the environment, asking: can we save
nature in time? Elizabeth Kolbert has become one of the most
important writers on the environment. Now she investigates the
immense challenges humanity faces as we scramble to reverse, in a
matter of decades, the effects we've had on the atmosphere, the
oceans, the world's forests and rivers - on the very topography of
the globe. In Under a White Sky, she takes a hard look at the new
world we are creating.Along the way, she meets biologists who are
trying to preserve the world's rarest fish, engineers who are
turning carbon emissions to stone in Iceland, Australian
researchers who are trying to develop a 'super coral' that can
survive on a hotter globe, and physicists who are contemplating
shooting tiny diamonds into the stratosphere to cool the earth,
changing the sky from blue to white. One way to look at human
civilisation, says Kolbert, is as a ten-thousand-year exercise in
defying nature. By turns inspiring, terrifying and darkly comic,
Under a White Sky is an utterly original examination of the
challenges we face.**A SUNDAY TIMES 'BOOK OF 2021'**
