    In the time I have been alive I've seen massive leaps in consciousness with each generation. Fueled by technology and firmly settled in the Information Age, ideas for how humans can shape the world we live in are blossoming. It's this, and inspirational and data-driven products and approaches like Michael Leifer's "The Story of Climate Change", that give me hope. Nothing is more important than educating the next generation about climate change, and this is a resource that deeply understands the changing landscape of interactive, tech-enabled, participatory learning. Highly recommend.

    The Story of Climate Change is a beautiful and interactive iTextbook. WIth Earth Week here this book provides an engaging way for students and adult learner alike to experience extremely important and relevant environmental concepts. As a teacher and educator of mathematics and science, this book provides a means for me to connect my content to real-world problems and provide a way for my students to learn and experience the content at their own pace. As a father of three young and eager minds, I put this book on my childrens iPad and they really enjoy watching the videos, and playing with the interactive features. I can’t speak highly enough of this iTextbook. Really relevant especially during Earth Week 2015!

  • A Story of Climate Change that needs to be heard

    Michael Leifer’s The Story of Climate Change is a timely story for this generation of kids. A recent report from UNICEF says young people around the world understand that their generation will have to suffer, pay for, and attempt to rectify the damage that is being done to the Earth by “man-fuelled” climate change. Children from around the world are powerfully expressing their fears for the future and the actions they need us all to take now. Throught the power of story, Leifer and the Earth Day Network step the chlldren though and understanding of what is happening, why i is happenign and what they can do about it. Please support this Important work!
