It is an essential listen for everyone who is looking to understand what drives climate change, counter skeptics and deniers, and take action on the climate emergency.

In 1990, Peter Larson, with his team of commercial fossil hunters from the Black Hills Institute, discovered the most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex specimen in history. He dubbed it "Sue" after the field paleontologist who first saw it sticking out of a sandstone cliff on the ranch of Maurice Williams, a Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe member in South Dakota's badlands. Because the skelton was 90% complete, its study promised to yield up priceless information on the life and habits of the T Rex.

Arsuaga en su máximo esplendor. El primer libro sobre la evolución de la anatomía humana, y que une ciencia y arte. 4.ª edición. Más de 40.000 lectores. En el museo del Prado, un científico recorre con la vista la escultura del Diadúmeno de Policleto; en su anatomía puede leer una historia evolutiva de siete millones de años. En la sala contigua hay otra algo más tardía que muestra la figura desnuda de la Venus del delfín, el canon helenístico de la belleza femenina. El científico aprecia las diferencias entre ambos y se pregunta por su significado.

The proposal that the impact of humanity on the planet has left a distinct footprint, even on the scale of geological time, has recently gained much ground. Global climate change, shifting global cycles of the weather, widespread pollution, radioactive fallout, plastic accumulation, species invasions, the mass extinction of species-these are just some of the many indicators that we will leave a lasting record in rock, the scientific basis for recognizing new time intervals in Earth's history. The Anthropocene, as the proposed new epoch has been named, is regularly in the news.

Carbon—humans are emitting way too much of it. The problem is simple, but solutions are tricky. How do we measure and reduce our carbon emissions? And how do we know if a person or company that pledges to reduce its emissions is actually doing so? On Life in the Greenhouse, we use greenhouse gas accounting as a tool to whittle headlines and break down major trends into understandable facts about climate change—where we are, where we’re headed, and what we might do about it. Our show is a production of the Carbon Accounting, Reporting, and Management Lab (CARML) at Northern Arizona ...
