Hardback. Condición: Good. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The Uninhabitable Earth hits you like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our pending Armageddon.--Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker - The New York Times Book Review - Time - NPR - The Economist - The Paris Review - Toronto Star - GQ - The Times Literary Supplement - The New York Public Library - Kirkus ReviewsIt is worse, much worse, than you think.
