  What We Know about Climate...

  This audiobook is an updated edition of a guide to the basic science of climate change, and a call to action. The vast majority of scientists agree that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere - most dramatically since the 1970s. Yet global warming skeptics and ill-informed elected officials continue to dismiss this broad scientific consensus. In this updated edition of his authoritative book, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how the current consensus has emerged. Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the most dramatic effects of global warming will be felt, he argues, we can be confident that we face real dangers. Emanuel warns that global warming will contribute to an increase in the intensity and power of hurricanes and flooding and more rapidly advancing deserts. But just as our actions have created the looming crisis, so too might they avert it. Emanuel calls for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for downplaying the dangers of global warming (and, in search of “balance,” quoting extremists who deny its existence).
  
  
  
  This edition has been updated to include the latest climate data, a discussion of the Earth’s carbon cycle, the warming hiatus of the first decade of this century, the 2017 hurricanes, advanced energy options, the withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, and more. It offers a new foreword by former US Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), who now works on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.
  
  
  
  What We Know About Climate Change is wonderfully read by award-winning narrator Karen Chilton. This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  Atomic Hide-and-Seek - The...

  In the annals of modern history, few inventions have cast as long and dark a shadow as the atomic bomb. Its birth marked a seismic shift in human capability, wielding the power to obliterate entire cities and reshape geopolitical landscapes. Yet, from its inception, the atom's power has not merely been a matter of spectacle but of concealment. Beneath the publicized detonations and treaty negotiations lies a quieter, more insidious game—one where nations and non-state actors seek to hide their most devastating weapons in plain sight. 
  This hidden game began almost as soon as the atomic bomb was developed. During the Manhattan Project, secrecy was paramount, not just to protect scientific progress but to ensure strategic advantage. The veil of secrecy surrounding nuclear weapons set the stage for an enduring tradition of concealment. As the technology proliferated, so too did the techniques for hiding these weapons: underground silos, mobile launchers, and entire programs buried under bureaucratic misdirection. The Cold War, in particular, saw the emergence of elaborate strategies of obfuscation, where intelligence agencies and military powers engaged in a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek. 
  At the heart of this game lies a paradox. The destructive potential of nuclear weapons is unparalleled, yet their true power is magnified when shrouded in uncertainty. A hidden arsenal not only evades preemptive strikes but also exerts a psychological toll on adversaries, forcing them to account for every possibility. This uncertainty has become a tool of diplomacy, coercion, and deterrence, embedding itself deeply into the fabric of international relations.
