The May-June 2010 issue of Audubon, magazine of the National Audubon Society, included a list of titles recommended by “some of the leading thinkers and writers on climate change.” So after spring classes are over, you might want to look for these books for enlightening summer reading. All but the last three are available from Andersen Library (search HALCat for call numbers).

- The Discovery of Global Warming
