The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth's Past Mass Extinctions
Peter Brannen
The book’s amazing for two reasons. The first is that it is the first that really got me to understand deep time... It is also an amazing book for understanding the centrality of carbon to Earth’s geological history going as far back as, basically, we can track.

Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid
Meredith Angwin
The best explanation of how electricity markets actually work and the thinking behind them in such plain language... It’s a really, really interesting book and, I think, a perspective that if you’re immersed in climate policy, you wouldn’t necessarily have.
