Longitude Books's Recommended Books on Climate Change

Check out Longitude Books's extensive list of recommended books on climate change. An outstanding resource. One I especially recommend is Elizabeth Kolbert's Field Notes From a Catastrophe. (Yes, of course Longitude Books carries both Miraculous Air and Mexico: A Traveler's Literary Companion.)
