Ice, Mud and Blood
Jul 2nd, 2008 by midwifetoad | 1 Comment »

From Pharyngula we have a review of a new book on climate change.

I’m very fond of Chris Turney’s book, Bones, Rocks, and Stars. It’s a slender, simple description of the many tools scientists use to figure out how old something is, and when arguing with young earth creationists, it’s become the first thing I recommend to them. It’s short and easy to read, and focuses on explaining how dating methods work.

Turney has a new book out: Ice, Mud and Blood: Lessons from Climates Past. This is the one you’ll be able to hand to climate change denialists, and it’s a winner.

An interview with the author can be found here.

    I once took out a book on teaching evolution PZ recommended on his site. It turned out the author was a literal communist who peppered the entire book with references to Lenin and Mao, and tried to use evolution to justify her Marxist ideology. Somehow, I got the feeling it would be a lot less effective at persuading people than PZ thought.
