Over the next decade, a handful of scientists, politicians, and strategists, led by two unlikely heroes, risked their careers in a desperate, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. \u003ci\u003eLosing Earth\u003c\/i\u003e is their story, and ours. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine \u003c\/i\u003edevoted an entire issue to Nathaniel Rich's groundbreaking chronicle of that decade, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon--the subject of news coverage, editorials, and conversations all over the world. In its emphasis on the lives of the people who grappled with the great existential threat of our age, it made vivid the moral dimensions of our shared plight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow expanded into book form, \u003ci\u003eLosing Earth\u003c\/i\u003e tells the human story of climate change in even richer, more intimate terms. It reveals, in previously unreported detail, the birth of climate denialism and the genesis of the fossil fuel industry's coordinated effort to thwart climate policy through misinformation propaganda and political influence. The book carries the story into the present day, wrestling with the long shadow of our past failures and asking crucial questions about how we make sense of our past, our future, and ourselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike John Hersey's \u003ci\u003eHiroshima\u003c\/i\u003e and Jonathan Schell's \u003ci\u003eThe Fate of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLosing Earth\u003c\/i\u003e is the rarest of achievements: a riveting work of dramatic history that articulates a moral framework for understanding how we got here, and how we must go forward.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNathaniel Rich is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eKing Zeno\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOdds Against Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Mayor's Tongue\u003c\/i\u003e.
