Show details

Synopsis

Daniel is one f****d-up, neurotic climatologist.

Well, he's really no more or less f****d-up than you. Or I.

But studying climatology will do that to you, given the dark shadows that science has cast over our oblivion.

Now Daniel has a choice.

Knowing how the future looks, can he bring a child into a world at the mercy of cataclysmic changes in climate?

Ian Meadow's Between Two Waves is a vital piece of new writing about one of the greatest challenges facing humanity.
