The Planet COVID-19 Field Journal is an imaginative, touching, and lighthearted look at our world during the pandemic of 2020. Starting in his own backyard, Gendron brings the reader on a journey in which he rediscovers his surroundings on the Planet COVID-19. Hiking through the transformed town and surrounding forests, he finds the deserted landscape is brimming with artifacts of a new civilization.

In doing so, he provides the reader a heartfelt and relatable take on the year's events, as we all search for meaning and understanding of our new planet.

The book—companion to a PBS series—that proves humans are causing global warming and offers a path to the future. Since the discovery of fire, humans have been energy users and always will be. And this is a good thing-our mastery of energy is what separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom and has allowed us to be the dominant species on the planet. However, this mastery comes with a price: we are changing our environment in a profoundly negative way by heating it up. Using one engaging story after another, coupled with accessible scientific facts, world authority Richard B. Alley explores the fascinating history of energy use by humans over the centuries, gives a doubt-destroying proof that already-high levels of carbon dioxide are causing damaging global warming, and surveys the alternative energy options that are available to exploit right now. These new energy sources might well be the engines for economic growth in the twenty-first century.
