In the computer models she uses to study climate change, it's easy to simulate rising temperatures, catastrophic outcomes, and bleak futures. But climate change isn't just happening in those models. It's happening here, to the only good planet in the universe. It's happening to us.

In each chapter, Marvel uses a different emotion to explore the science and stories behind climate change. As expected, there is anger, fear, and grief - but also wonder, hope, and love. With her singular voice, Marvel takes us on a soaring journey, one filled with mythology, physics, witchcraft, bad movies, volcanoes, Roman emperors, sequoia groves, and the many small miracles of nature we usually take for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHopeful, heartbreaking, and surprisingly funny, \u003cem\u003eHuman Nature\u003c\/em\u003e is a vital, wondrous exploration of how it feels to live in a changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Few books I've encountered have felt more immediately timely. Over and over again I was, and remain, struck and challenged by the fierce, wise beauty in these pages. Reading and feeling these words now - as scientists are silenced and defunded, and as our climate convulses - gives it the heft of a forbidden samizdat text, making the sharing of it that much more urgent.'\u003cbr\u003e\n- John Vaillant, bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eThe Tiger\u003c\/em\u003e and Pulitzer Prize finalist \u003cem\u003eFire Weather\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'This is the best climate book I've ever read.
