520    "A vital guide to the frontlines of our fight against 
       climate change and the scientific and technological 
       innovations that will revolutionize the world. The United 
       States' accelerated plans to combat the existential threat
       of climate change finally give reason to hope. In Our 
       Livable World , research specialist and author Marc Schaus
       explores the incredible new green innovations in science 
       and engineering that can allow us to avoid the worst 
       repercussions of global warming as we work to usher in a 
       sustainable, livable world. To beat a challenge the size 
       of climate change, our solutions will have to be ambitious
       : solar thermal cells capable of storing energy long after
       the sun goes down, "smart highways" designed to charge 
       your vehicle as you drive, indoor vertical farms automated
       to maximize crop growth with no pesticides, bioluminescent
       vines ready to one day replace our streetlights, jet fuel 
       created from landfill trash -- and next-generation carbon 
       capture techniques to remove the emissions we have already
       released over the past several decades. Far from the 
       geoengineering schemes of cli-fi action thrillers, real 
       solutions are being developed, right this moment. Our 
       Livable World features interviews with the innovators, 
       real talk on the revolutionary technology, and a clear 
       picture of a cleaner planet in the future. "An important 
       book that shows the dawn of a new kind of environmental 
       movement -- an age where we invest in deeply creative and 
       fascinating technical solutions that work in harmony with 
       the Earth. Marc Schaus lays out the exciting future of 
       environmental innovation before us." -- Katie Patrick, 
       author of How to Save the World"--|cProvided by Freading.
