Global Warming and War

Global Warming and War
Volume Two of the Adirondack Green Trilogy

In Global Warming and War, the second volume of the Adirondack Green Trilogy, the people of a small American town respond to the dying of their lakes, and the death of one of their sons in Iraq.

The thirty-two high school seniors examine the environmental threats to their Adirondack Park, and to the Earth itself. In addition, they invite thirty-two wounded veterans, back from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to spend an extraordinary week of adaptive skiing on Bobcat Mountain. The students, and the reader, meet these veterans face to face as the Wounded Warriors rise to the challenge of skiing without legs, of skiing blind. The students thus learn the most important lesson of their senior year: how to reach deep inside to find the best that is in them. And how to help others to do the same.

Global Warming and War examines our troubled world today with clear-eyed honesty. At the same time, this unprecedented story assures us that we are entirely capable of building a far better world.
