520    "From severe flooding in Louisiana to wildfires in the 
       Pacific Northwest to melting permafrost in Alaska, 
       catastrophic climate events are occurring more frequently-
       -and severely--than ever. And these events are having a 
       direct impact on the lives (and futures) of young people 
       and their families. In the ongoing landmark case Juliana 
       vs. United States, twenty-one young plaintiffs claim that 
       the government's support of the fossil-fuel industry is 
       actively contributing to climate change, and that all 
       citizens have a constitutional right to a stable climate--
       especially children and young adults, because they cannot 
       vote and will inherit the problems of the future. 
       Elizabeth Rusch's The Twenty-One is a gripping legal and 
       environmental thriller that tells the story of twenty-one 
       young people and their ongoing case against the U.S. 
       government for denying their constitutional right to life 
       and liberty. A rich, informative, and multifaceted read, 
       The Twenty-One stars the young plaintiffs and their 
       attorneys; illuminates the workings of the United States's
       judicial system and the relationship between government, 
       citizens' rights, and the environment; and asks readers to
       think deeply about the future of our planet" --
