The Live Earth: Global Warming Survival Handbook
National Geographic Emerging Explorer David de Rothschild advises readers about 77 basic skills to help prevent global warming—and if all else fails, to survive on an overheated planet.
In this lively read, learn how to capture free-range energy, decode your garbage, make your own water from scratch and much more.
Each skill is clearly illustrated and accompanied by scientific and environmental facts, and a full set of instructions.
The volume also contains a resource guide for environmentally-conscious readers.
The book was the official companion to the Live Earth concerts, a 24-hour musical event broadcast around the world in July 2007. The author's royalties from the sale of the book will benefit the Alliance for Climate Protection.

David de Rothschild has trekked across Antarctica via the South Pole, set a speed record crossing the Greenland ice cap, and reached the North Pole with hungry polar bears at his heels.
His Web site www.adventureecology.com uses the excitement of daring expeditions to inspire interest in environmental issues among schoolchildren. "We can make saving the planet an adventure," de Rothschild explains. "I want to make it so engaging, fun, and fascinating they want to get involved."
De Rothschild was recently voted a "Young Global Leader" by the World Economic Forum and a National Geographic "Emerging Explorer."
