In his new book, National Geographic Emerging Explorer David de Rothschild presents 77 basic skills to help prevent global warming—and if all else fails, how 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 many other useful things. 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 is the official companion to the Live Earth concerts, a 24-hour musical event broadcast from around the world on July 7, 2007. The author's royalties from the sale of the book will benefit the Alliance for Climate Protection.
