"This Is Climate Change" presents a breadth of climate change topics through simple graphics and concise statements. The presentation will appeal to a wide audience and is appropriate for people with all different levels of climate science knowledge.

Some images did not have good contrast, making them difficult to read. Sources are provided through a QR code instead of in the text, which I found disappointing.

Incredible hard to read as a pdf, but if one gets their hands on the printed version, they could probably enjoy (and learn a lot) from this.

The book basically talks about the *basics* of climate change. For beginners and average readers, I think this would be easy to grasp, but for readers who already know a bit about climate change, it will fall very short.

Great book for beginners, with lots of up-to date graphics, statistics and other pictures.

The combination of text, images, and infographics helped to disambiguate what people mean when they say "Climate Change." I think it might be easier to read as a print book where you can move through the pages more easily, in pdf format it felt really disjointed and I had a hard time understanding how the information on one page related to the next.
While it was written for laypeople (and perhaps as a way to convince the climate change deniers in your life) I thought it was still rather technical and took a lot of thought and effort to understand. It's a good book if you're interested in the topic but probably wouldn't be as effective as a passive aggressive gift.

The publisher describes the book as an "essential, all-in-one guide to climate change-- packed with easy-to-understand infographics on all the latest scientific findings." That sounds great on paper, but the book falls a bit short of that ideal.

The book does offer some good infographics, but they vary in how undestandable they are. Some of the graphics can be quite complex for average readers. Yes the book does offer accurate and up to date (as of this book) information on climate change. However, the text at times can also be fairly complex and even inaccessible. To be honest, this was not an interesting reading. It felt more like a chore to read.

On a side note, the book's bibliography was presented as a QR code, which seems to be the hip thing instead of just providing the list in the book. This may limit accessibility for some readers.

A reason I wanted to read this book was for possible library acquisition. I figured it could be helpful for some student assignments. However, the book does not seem written for average readers; I do not see many undergrads choosing to use this book for a paper on climate change. This is a book I would label as optional for libraries. I would not purchase for my library unless requested.

Overall, for a book labeled as "easy-to-understand," it really is not. It seems more written for other academics. In a time when this kind of information needs to be accessible, easy to understand, and written plainly, this book had potential but fell short. It was just OK.

This book is an informative read without being overwhelming. The illustrations help explain points for easier understanding. An excellent choice for those who want to understand the effect of climate change but aren’t scientists or economists, like myself. Don’t be deceived by the book’s short length, there is a lot of information on its pages.

Even with a lot of graphics, this book was still a bit tedious to complete. And one of the things that really did a disservice to the book was no index or bibliography, unless you accessed the digital bibliography via the QR code.

A big plus to the book was the use of mini table of contents within each chapter.

This is Climate Change is page after page of facts, charts and graphs explaining climate change. It is broken into sections that include: The Earth's Climate, Possible Causes of Climate Change, The Cryosphere, The Oceans, Weather and Climate Extremes, Ecosystems and Humans. It reads almost as a slide show presentation to scholars. Some areas were easier to understand like the effects on eco systems. Spring is arriving a couple days earlier, hummingbirds migrate earlier because of warming etc. I also can understand raising the earth's climate temperature (not weather temp) can damage oceans, farming etc. Everything is presented as fact with very little to emphasis on how we as everyday people can change the climate trajectory. I drive a hybrid vehicle and try to reduce my carbon footprint but there were very few other helpful suggestions. Also because everything is presented as a fact there is no counter argument to what is presented. This is an informative 126 page book. Thank you to NetGalley and the authors for an ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This book is an indepth explanation of global warming and climate change. Pictures help support the author's points. Chapter subheadings are helpful. This book is definitely for the advanced, adult reader.

Using easy to read graphics, charts, and illustrations as well as being written in a simple easy to understand language, this book puts into perspective changes over the past few centuries in our climate and the impact that man has had in those changes. Although it states that it was geared towards adults, I think this would be perfect in my middle school library for students who want to learn more about climate change and its impacts.

Thank you to NetGalley and The Experiment for an advanced electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

What is climate change? What is true and what's just a hoax? With the help of this book, it's time to get the facts, with a few diagrams to help interpret what's really happening.

Though the language in this book can feel a bit inaccessible, this is overall a great resource. Once you get past some academic language, there is a lot broken down here. This book addresses what climate change actually looks like, what makes it better, what makes it worse, and who (and what) is affected by it. This is the perfect gift for the nonbelievers in your life!
