(31 October)  This new book from Yale University Press – ‘The future of nature: documents of global change’ – is newly published.  It contains a commentary by me on John Tyndall’s original 1859 experiments into the greenhouse effect and also includes an abridged version of my 2011 Osiris article ‘Reducing the future to climate’, which draws a commentary from the book’s editors, Libby Robin, Sverker Sorlin and Paul Warde.
