Summary

A Crisis Like No Other: Understanding and Defeating Global Warming couples engaging and creative storytelling with accurate details to explain global warming. It covers both the technical and human issues of global warming by addressing what's causing global warming, and why people don’t believe it exists. The book tells readers how to convince others that global warming is not only real, but life-threatening, and offers a clearly laid out path to solve it. The book is accurate and carefully researched, drawing on the author's thirty years studying the science of global warming, and the human psyche that surrounds it.  
  
The author breaks down the subject into four parts, which can be thought of as four mini-books in one. The first part covers the psychology of global warming denial, how to defend ourselves against its lies and fake news, and how to convince others of global warming’s grave harm. The second part describes exactly what global warming is. The third answers the question what makes us so sure? Finally, the last part provides a road map showing us how to defeat global warming.  
  
This book is comprehensive, fast paced, and easily accessible to readers from all walks of life. It provides an overview of everything one needs to know about global warming and, as such, is an excellent survey of global warming topics. In addition to being an easy and enjoyable read for the general public, A Crisis Like No Other: Understanding and Defeating Global Warming serves as a handy primer on climate change for environmental science classes.

    Optical physics is a foundational branch of physics that explores the behavior, properties, and interactions of light with matter. Light, in its various forms, plays a critical role in both natural phenomena and technological advancements. Understanding its fundamental nature is essential for applications ranging from imaging systems to communication networks and quantum technologies. This chapter introduces the basic principles of optical physics, covering the nature and properties of light and the historical development of optical science. 
Light exhibits both wave-like and particle-like properties, a duality that has been central to the development of modern physics. As an electromagnetic wave, light consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields propagating through space. The wavelength and frequency of these oscillations determine the characteristics of light, including its color in the visible spectrum. The wave theory of light explains many optical phenomena such as interference, diffraction, and polarization, all of which are essential in optical technologies. However, light also behaves as a stream of particles called photons, as demonstrated by the photoelectric effect. This particle-like nature of light laid the foundation for quantum optics and photonics, which are crucial for contemporary research and applications.

    A nuanced analysis takes a California oil spill as its point of departure to show how affluent homeowners pushed for an environmentalism that would protect not only the earth but also property and community norms. A massive oil spill in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara, California, in 1969 quickly became a landmark in the history of American environmentalism, helping to inspire the creation of both the Environmental Protection Agency and Earth Day. But what role did the history of Santa Barbara itself play in this? As Pollyanna Rhee shows, the city’s past and demographics were essential to the portrayal of the oil spill as momentous. Moreover, well-off and influential Santa Barbarans were positioned to “domesticate” the larger environmental movement by embodying the argument that individual homes and families—not society as a whole—needed protection from environmental abuses. This soon would put environmental rhetoric and power to fundamentally conservative—not radical—ends.
