Book Synopsis
In his notes on the natural history of Concord, Massachusetts, Henry David Thoreau records the first open flowers of highbush blueberry on May 11, 1853. In the 160 years since his writings, warming temperatures have pushed blueberry flowering three weeks earlier. This book tracks the effects of a warming climate on Concord's plants and animals.

Trade Review
"Thoreau, in Walden, proposed a 'realometer' to filter out prejudice and delusion. This eloquent new book fills that role for us, reminding us that global warming is not an abstract future proposition but a very profound current reality." (Bill McKibben, author of Oil and Honey: The Making of an Unlikely Activist)"
