Read 'N' Seed 1: Under a Green Sky

Hi guys, I needed to pick a different book so this has been updated! I chose "Under a Green Sky: Global Warming, the Mass Extinctions of the Past, and What They Can Tell Us About Our Future" by Peter D. Ward . This book will cover a range of  environmental topics that seem to mostly be dealing with global warming. Such as at the end of the Permian period their was a rise in carbon dioxide that lead to a climate change which caused major destruction to species. Juding by the titles of many of the chapters this book talks a lot about extinctions and what could possibly be coming in the future. To give you a better idea the chapters are as follows:

1. Welcome to the Revolution
2. The Overlooed Extinction
3. The Mother of All Extinctions
4. The Misinterpreted Extinction
5. A New Paradigm for Mass Extinction
6. The Driver of Extinction
7. Bridging the Deep Past and Near Past
8. The Oncoming Extinction of Winter
9. Back to the Eocene
Finale: The New Old World.

I chose this book because after learning more about global warming in class, I think this book will be really interesting and offer a lot of new insight. I know this book is going to have a lot of facts in it, and from reading the first couple of pages Ward seems like he writes in a "non-lecturing" can of way that will be appealing. This book has 10 chapters and 204 pages. I am going to read  chapters 1 and 2  for the 1st quarter. Chapters 3-5 for quarter 2. Chapters 6-8 for quarter 3 and chapters 9 and the 'finale' for quarter 4.
