The Heat Will Kill You First

Jeff Goodell (Author)

The Heat Will Kill You First is about the extreme ways in which our planet is already changing. It is about why spring is coming a few weeks earlier and fall is coming a few weeks later and the impact that will have on everything from our food supply to disease outbreaks.

As an award-winning journalist who has been at the forefront of environmental journalism for decades, Goodell’s new book explains how extreme heat will dramatically change the world as we know it. 

Mixing the latest scientific insight with on-the-ground storytelling, Jeff Goodell tackles the big questions and uncovers how extreme heat is a force beyond anything we have reckoned with before.
