I like how the author, Elizabeth Kolbert, describes Alaska in the beginning of the book. Her language and descriptive words put me right there with her and it's a very refreshing way to begin a book.
I think global warming is a huge concern in our world and it should be, but not everyone sees it. Maybe in Plattsburgh, NY there are not any signs of global warming noticeable to the everyday college student. However, in Alaska, Kolbert describes a different scene. Alaska is already being affected by global warming and people can actually see the changes.
Understanding global warming can be difficult but Kolbert makes it a little easier to understand with her casual writing and I think reading this book will be more interesting than some other scientific books out there!
