In Lukewarming, two environmental scientists explain the science and spin behind the headlines and come to a provocative conclusion: climate change is real, and partially man-made, but it is becoming obvious that far more warming has been forecast than will occur, with some of the catastrophic impacts implausible or impossible. Global warming is more lukewarm than hot. This fresh analysis is an invaluable source for those looking to be more informed...

The world is about to run out of cheap oil and change dramatically. Within the next few years, global production will peak.

We are entering a new era, as different from the industrial era as the latter was from medieval times. In The Party's Over, Richard...

The world of insects is one we only dimly understand. Yet from using arsenic, cobalt, and quicksilver to kill household infiltrators to employing the sophisticated tools of the Orkin Man, Americans have fought to eradicate the "bugs" they have learned to hate.

Anti-police groups have fabricated a myth that cops are wantonly slaughtering innocent minorities. Why, despite evidence exonerating officers of wrongdoing, does anti-police fervor too often flare into violence? Cops and society's confusion about police work have collided as progressives try to replace equal...

Petroleum is so deeply entrenched in our economy, politics, and daily lives that even modest efforts to phase it out, are fought tooth and nail. Companies and governments depend on oil revenues. Developing nations see oil as their only means to industrial success. And, the Western middle class refuses to modify its energy-dependent lifestyle.
