If you want some cool, refreshing summer reading, consider Frozen Earth: the once and future story of ice ages, by Doug Macdougall. It is hard to imagine Boston and Detroit covered in ice, but they were, along with much of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere. While the focus is on ice, there are excellent explanations of other climactic phenomena including global warming, greenhouse gas effects, etc. This is a way cool book, check it out.
