-Descripcion Original:
Just as World War II called an earlier generation to greatness, so the climate crisis is calling todays rising youth to action: to create a better future. In UNSTOPPABLE, Bill Nye crystallizes and expands the message for which he is best known and beloved. That message is that with a combination of optimism and scientific curiosity, all obstacles become opportunities, and the possibilities of our world become limitless. With a scientists thirst for knowledge and an engineers vision of what can be, Bill Nye sees todays environmental issues not as insurmountable, depressing problems but as chances for our society to rise to the challenge and create a cleaner, healthier, smarter world. We need not accept that transportation consumes half our energy, and that two-thirds of the energy you put into your car is immediately thrown away out the tailpipe. We need not accept that dangerous emissions are the price we must pay for a vibrant economy and a comfortable life. Above all, we need not accept that we will leave our children a planet that is dirty, overheated, and depleted of resources. As Bill shares his vision, he debunks some of the most persistent myths and misunderstandings about global warming. When you are done reading, youll be enlightened and empowered. Chances are, youll be smiling, too, ready to join Bill and change the world. In Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World, the New York Times bestselling author of Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation and former host of Bill Nye the Science Guy issues a new challenge to todays generation: to make a cleaner, more efficient, and happier world. “Unstoppable is what you get when you melt down Bill Nye the Science Guy and turn him into a book. Containing rich scientific insights on ourselves, our society, and our world, the book is a must-read for anybody who needs to be scientifically literate in the 21st century. And that’s of course, everybody.” Neil deGrasse Tyson, Ph.D., Astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History “As only Bill Nye can, he uses the book to explain the science behind climate change, debunks popular myths, and asks readers to take action in their own lives to create a sustainable future. The book is shot through with optimism, but Nye has no illusions about what lies ahead. The message is simple: Climate change is real; humans are causing it; and we have no choice but to build a better and cleaner world.” Salon Praise for UNDENIABLE: Bill Nye, the Science Guy, has become a veritable cultural icon....[T]he title of his new book on evolution...[is] Undeniable, because, yes, there are many Americans who still deny what Darwin and other scientists long ago proved. -Frank Bruni, The New York Times With a jaunty bow tie and boyish enthusiasm, Bill Nye the Science Guy has spent decades decoding scientific topics, from germs to volcanoes, for television audiences....In his new book, Nye delights in how [evolution] helps to unlock the mysteries of everything from bumblebees to human origins to our place in the universe. -National Geographic When it comes to Bill Nye, Science Guy doesnt even begin to cover it. When hes not being summoned to act as a voice of reason for news outlets or leading meetings as CEO of the Planetary Society, he is living the life of a best-selling author....His recently published book, Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation, enlightens readers while using a conversational, educational tone. After all, its his ability to break down even the most complicated topics into bite-size pieces that made him such a hit on his 90s childrens show Bill Nye, the Science Guy. -The Boston Globe Mr. Nye writes briskly and accessibly...[and] makes an eloquent case for evolution.-The Wall Street Journal Because [Bill Nye is] a scientist, he has no doubts that the deniers of evolution are flat wrong. And because hes a performer, his book is fun to read
