Fire Weather: On the Front Lines of a Burning World by John Vaillant

---

Obviously, some very grim subject matter, but I’m consistently impressed with how John Valliant is able to weave together all his narrative and thematic threads, build tension, and keep relatively dry chapters on the history of, in this case, the petroleum industry and the history of early science about the atmosphere and its chemical makeup  engaging and propelling.
