Book ID/图书代码: 12679510B42785
English Summary/英文概要: Climate change is now doing far more harm than marooning polar bears on melting chunks of ice—it is damaging the health of people around the world. Brilliantly connecting stories of real people with cutting-edge scientific and medical information, Changing Planet, Changing Health brings us to places like Mozambique, Honduras, and the United States for an eye-opening on-the-ground investigation of how climate change is altering patterns of disease. Written by a physi-cian and world expert on climate and health and an award-winning science journalist, the book reveals the surprising links between global warming and cholera, malaria, lyme disease, asthma, and other health threats. In clear, accessible language, it also discusses topics including Climategate, cap-and-trade proposals, and the relationship between free markets and the climate crisis. Most importantly, Changing Planet, Changing Health delivers a suite of innovative solutions for shaping a healthy global economic order in the twenty-first century.

多娜查薇(Donna Chavez), 书单(BOOKLIST):“如果人人都有一张必读书单,那么这本书一定在其中。根据两位专家的建议,早读晚读都是要读的,那还不如早读早了解,早点行动保护地球保护环境也保护自己的健康。作者坚信,气候变化是一些流行病的爆发原因。他曾亲眼目睹孩子和穷人遭受的痛苦。当然,仍有人是持怀疑态度的。但是作者也为这些人群提供了信服的契机。甚至还有相关政策出台来保护环境。这是一个及时的警钟。”
