DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Richard Wolinsky\n\n“A brilliant weather report from the near 
 future of world politics.” -Mike Davis\n\nFrom Africa to Asia and Latin 
 America, the new era of climate war has begun. As temperatures rise, 
 glaciers melt, droughts intensify and extreme weather becomes more 
 frequent, climate change is expressing itself as greater violence, 
 humanitarian crisis, social breakdown and spreading state failure. In 
 Tropic of Chaos, award-winning writer Christian Parenti travels the 
 frontlines of this gathering catastrophe to reveal its economic, political 
 and military history in a skillful combination of literary journalism and 
 cold-eyed scholarly analysis.\n\nAn investigative journalist’s tough 
 analysis of how the world’s most vulnerable states…are confronting the 
 new crisis of climate change. A dark look at a looming world crisis. 
 —Kirkus Reviews    \n\nParenti is a contributing editor at The Nation and 
 a visiting scholar at the City University of New York. He has a PhD in 
 sociology from the London School of Economics. The author of Lockdown 
 America, The Soft Cage and The Freedom, he has written for Fortune, the New 
 York Times, Mother Jones and the London Review of Books.\n\n“A richly 
 investigated and original account of the role climate change is already 
 playing in contemporary conflicts. This glimpse of the future we most fear 
 arrives just in time to change course.” —Naomi Klein\n\n$12 advance
