The newest addition to a crowded field on the catastrophes listed in the subtitle above. The author, a specialist in cosmochemistry, is personally acquainted with some of the leading atmospheric researchers, giving his book a special insider's viewpoint. He shows how science really works, with all of the hesitations, contradictions, and outright errors included, but also demonstrates how, in the long run, science produces a better and better understanding of the natural world. More specifically, Fisher shows that the three potential atmospheric disasters are very real threats that should not be shrugged off as "just theories." Recommended for public and academic libraries.
