Summary: | The Planet You Inherit: Letters to My Grandchildren When Uncertainty's a Sure Thing By Larry L. Rasmussen (Broadleaf Books) While I was reading The Planet You Inherit, the smoky haze from Canadian wildfires painted the skies of New York City and Washington, DC, an end-of-the-world-movie shade of red.

Rasmussen helps us to see glimmers of grace and hope through the grim, smoky haze cast over our age by all manner of dangers, not least climate change. |
