“The popularity of the climate fiction genre has exploded as people across America see the devastating effects of wind, sun, and wave, making living on planet Earth a trial by fire,” says publisher spokesperson Art Radley. “Authors Kim Stanley Robinson, Emily St. John Mandel, Cormac McCarthy, and Margaret Atwood have all explored these prescient themes.”

“…Schools should consider BAMBOO for enrichment of vocabulary and for the sheer breadth of art, science, and sociological themes… A great gift for a teen or new adult.” – Joseph P.
