Paying homage to Henry David Thoreau, the Union of Concerned Scientists called for interested citizens to submit personal essays concerning global warming. This partnership between a science based nonprofit and a major publisher, Penguin Classics, created a new anthology.

Launch the interactive flash based vbook and read the 67 essays, chosen from such diverse perspectives as students, veterans, artists, grandparents, artists, evangelicals and journalists. The hardcover and the vbook can be found at the Union of Concerned Scientist.
