Author: Debra Hendrickson
Narrator: Megan Tusing
A timely, revelatory first look into the impact climate change has on children-the greatest moral crisis humanity faces today-by a pediatrician in the fastest warming city in America. Wildfires, hurricanes, and heat waves make headlines. But what is happening in Debra Hendrickson’s clinic tells another story of this strange and unsettling time. Hendrickson is a pediatrician in Reno, Nevada-the fastest warming city in the United States, where ash falls like snow during summer wildfires. In The Air They Breathe, Dr. Hendrickson recounts patients she’s seen who were harmed by worsening smoke, smog, and pollen; two boys in Arizona, stricken by record-setting heat while hiking; children who fled for their lives from Hurricane Harvey and the Tubbs Fire; and a little girl whose life was forever altered by the Zika virus outbreak in 2016.

Imagine Wayne Rooney, Andy Murray, and Mo Farah exchanging the glamour of their careers for the brutality of war-and quietly giving their lives for their country. Today the news would be dominated by the sacrifice of Britain’s most famous sporting icons. A century ago the brightest sporting stars of their generation did just that: hundreds of thousands of sports stars rallied to their country’s colors: many never returned from the mechanised carnage of World War I. The names of Walter Tull, Edgar Mobbs, and Percy Jeeves are unfamiliar today-lost in the terrible lists of the dead of World War I. But they belong among the pantheon of true British sporting heroes. All were-quite literally-at the top of their game; all made the ultimate sacrifice in "the greatest game of all"-war. For Team and Country reveals how sport itself was Britain’s first and most vital recruiting sergeant in the fight against Germany, and tells the remarkable and inspiring stories of the sportsmen whose prowess on the field was matched only by their bravery in the King’s uniform.
