Includes bibliographical references and index.Cycles in nature -- The carbon cycle -- Overloading the carbon cycle -- Conclusion."Earth is a complex system of natural cycles. Carbon, water, and other materials move in and out of rocks, the air, bodies of water, and living things. But human activities have thrown these cycles out of balance. In [this book], learn how Earth's living and nonliving things are connected and how human activities have damaged that connection." -- Back cover.Ages 5-11.840LAccelerated Reader AR

The pipeline and the paradigm : Keystone XL, tar sands, and the battle to defuse the carbon bomb / by Avery, Samuel,1949-(CARDINAL)393467;
There is enough carbon trapped in the Canadian tar sands to plunge the earth into irreversible climate change, and it is the Keystone XL pipeline that will set that carbon free. Is this 2,100-mile steel pipeline a vital piece of our nation's energy future or the conduit for global climate disaster? In The Pipeline and the Paradigm, Samuel Avery investigates the economic, ecological, political, and psychological issues behind the Keystone XL -- a project so controversial it has inspired the largest expression of civil disobedience since the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. In this thoroughly researched, wholly engaging book, Avery takes readers from enormous tar sands mines in Alberta to a treetop blockade in Texas to meet the people and explore the competing interests that power the environmental issue of our time.Includes bibliographical references (pages 216-218) and index.Foreword / by Bill McKibben -- Introduction : tar sands and mountain tops -- The paradigm.

Carbon : the book of life / by Hawken, Paul,author.(CARDINAL)161615;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Carbon -- Elements -- Firmament -- Cell mates -- Eating starlight -- Sugar salad -- Bucky and bing -- Green beings -- Kindom -- Parlance -- Paper eyes -- Primeval -- Dark earth -- Untranslated world -- Conscious -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Index."Carbon is the only element that animates the entirety of the living world. Though comprising a tiny fraction of Earth's composition, our planet is lifeless without it. Yet it is maligned as the driver of climate change, scorned as an errant element blamed for the possible demise of civilization. Here, Paul Hawken looks at the flow of life through the lens of carbon. Embracing a panoramic view of carbon's omnipresence, he explores how this ubiquitous and essential element extends into every aperture of existence and shapes the entire fabric of life. Hawken charts a course across our planetary history, guiding us into the realms of plants, animals, insects, fungi, food, and farms to offer a new narrative for embracing carbon's life-giving power and its possibilities for the future of human endeavor. In this stirring, hopeful, and deeply humane book, Hawken illuminates the subtle connections between carbon and our collective human experience and asks us to see nature, carbon, and ourselves as exquisitely intertwined--and inseparably connected"--
