 rom all 4 books. For those who will not have the opportunity to read the b
 ooks\, come out and hear the surprising facts and insights that readers wi
 ll share\, and\, then feel free to join in the discussion with your own th
 oughts and experiences.\n\n\n 	\nFire Weather: A True Story From a Hotter 
 World" by John Vaillant. ©2023. The author shows how\, in an age of acce
 lerating climate change\, the destructive power of extreme wildfire is bei
 ng unleashed in new\, unimaginable ways. The many weeks of wildfire smoke 
 which blanketed much of the U.S. this past summer... and the devastating M
 aui fire... are not aberrations. They are the new norm. This book will cha
 nge your ideas about fire and the future of fire on this planet.\n\n 	\n"T
 he Treeline: The Last Forest and the Future of Life on Earth" by Ben Rawle
 nce. ©2022. The boreal forest of Alaska\, Canada\, Europe and Siberia is
  the largest living system on Earth\, a circumpolar "lung" that is essenti
 al to the planet's health. The author takes readers on a journey of wonder
  and awe as he tells the story of the boreal forest and what it means for 
 the future of the planet if this forest is lost.\n\n 	\n"Our Fragile Momen
 t: How Lessons From Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis" b
 y Michael Mann. ©2023. There is a relatively narrow window of climate va
 riability within which civilization remains viable. In this paradigm-shift
 ing book\, the author arms readers with the knowledge to appreciate the se
 riousness of the climate crisis\, while emboldening them to act before it 
 truly does become too late.\n\n 	\n“Guardians of the Trees: A Journey of
  Hope Through Healing the Planet” by KInari Webb\, M.D. ©2021 One woma

 d how she discovers a way to save both lives and trees. Indonesian Borneo 
 is home to Gunung Palung National Park\, which hosts diverse species found
  nowhere else and is beloved by the people who live on the island. But lik
 e many people who live near tropical forests\, they have at times had to r
 esort to illegal logging to pay for healthcare. To combat this\, physician
  Kinari Webb founded the nonprofit Health in Harmony\, which aims to keep 
 the forest healthy by keeping people healthy.\n\n\nDirections: The Holy N
