1 author picked Clearing The Air as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of the fascinating things about air pollution is why and how it varies around the globe. Tim Smedley brought a journalist's keen perspective to the subject by traveling the world to see and experience the problems for himself. This book makes a great partner to mine. Where I explore air pollution science topic by topic, Tim zooms in to explore real impacts on real people. And it's not all gloom: two short appendices describe what we can do as societies and individuals to clean up our act.
From Chris' list on air pollution and what we can do about it.
