The irony didn't escape me. As I sat soaking up the sun after a week of rainy days, Goodell's words really struck me: "All in all, it's no surprise that people are confused about when heat crosses the boundary from something that feels good to something that can kill you". This book in a nutshell. Through personal interviews, stories of devastating human and planetary tragedies, and peppered with scientific analysis, Goodell lays before the reader the myriad ways that rising global temperatures are affecting all life on Earth. Yet it's not necessarily a doomsday tale as the title might lead you to think, but rather a call to all of us to do what we can in the fight for climate justice. ~ Reviewed by Lauren Singer

Largely taking place during the Fort McMurray wildfires, the center of Canada’s multibillion-dollar petroleum industry, we are shown how the desire for money and fossil fuels has out-weighed our need to preserve our planet. A woman seeing the fire continues to carry on with her daily errands; a dry cleaner confirming pickup time for a customer while on the phone with his wife warning her to leave the neighborhood as the fire approaches; the police chief briefing the public but giving no other advisement other than "be cautious"; Vaillant shows how we as a society have grown desensitized and, to a point, indifferent to how our world continues to heat up and burn around us. The science behind the wildfires is fascinating and the overwhelming evidence that human activity is truly to blame for our hotter world is, frankly, horrifying to face. The book is written in an easy-to-read style while still being a narrative story that paints the full picture in your mind. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning about our relationship with oil and fire. ~ Reviewed by Arielle Baldwin

I cannot truly verbalize how important I think this book is. Not only is it poetic, and beautiful in it’s setting, but it explains how we got to where we are in our collective climate disaster, specifically through the past few generations of farmers. Not so long ago, our farmers were able to work with the land, and could care deeply about the wildlife they shared it with, common practices enabled them to thrive hand in hand. Then chemicals became commonly applied to the land and so began the vicious cycle of monocrop farming on a grand scale. What this led to, is the death of wildlife, the soil itself and the diversity of food crops, which brought everything to its knees. The genius of Rebank’s book is that it so beautifully describes how quickly we got here, and so, if the collective will is strong enough, how quickly we can return, to not only the idyll, but the way of life, not only for us, but our wildlife, and ultimately our planet. A must read for all! ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty
