Field Notes

I don't have a huge interest in the concern of global warming, but the author of this book makes it easy to understand and holds your attention while reading. I appreciate anyone who can do this, because if I don't have an interest I usually stop reading.

I enjoy that she goes to Alaska to see the work of the scientists she is writing about. That is reporting, not only interviewing but getting your hands dirty that is how you get the real story.

I also like how she goes to these little towns in Alaska and shows the reader how this warming is changing their worlds as they know them. This brings a whole new perspective to people who can't see the effects right now (like me!).
