faithful to the science, compelling argument.

Subject: Easy to read climate book?
A student asked me the following question: I would like to purchase a book
that explains the specific effects of global warming (for instance, case
studies on species). I am hoping to find a book that is easily read and
includes photographs, something that I will be able to share with friends
and family and use as a sort of coffee table book to explain global warming
effects to people who don't understand the science of it.
Any ideas and suggestions?
