Though still hotly debated by some,
global warming is now an accepted fact in the wider
scientific community. The average temperature of
the Earth is clearly getting warmer. As scientists
work to develop accurate models to predict the full
impact of global warming, researchers, policy makers
and industry leaders are attempting to understand
and agree on what can be done to minimize or even
reverse the impact of human contributions to global
climate change.
Volumes in the new Confronting Global Warming
series explore in detail the range of current and
impending challenges the planet faces as a result of
global warming. Climate change potentially affects all
aspects of modern life, from weather and agriculture
to health and politics. The series examines these
issues from a variety of expert perspectives, highlights
key future challenges, and addresses the pros and
cons of potential solutions -- all in a clear, unbiased
manner. Confronting Global Warming is the perfect
resource for students needing up-to-date, authoritative
information on what may be the most significant issue
of our time.

story about a young couple Jesse and Joy. Both are believers in the
living God but come close to losing their marriage.
Once a month, Dad takes his son to the barbers, come rain or shine. But when Dad disappears, this little boy's hair grows big, ginormous, out of control – and so do his feelings. A touching and melodic story of family separation from a child's perspective from the author/illustrator duo who brought us the Amnesty International recommended picture book Luna Loves Library Day.
