| Smelling Land: The Hydrogen Defense Against Climate
Catastrophe by David Sanborn Scott, is the first clearly written,
comprehensive book to explain why hydrogen is the only way to escape global
climate catastrophe. Climate destabilization is the most serious environmental threat of the 21st century. If not stopped, it will bring economic collapse; mass migrations and global wars as countries vie for depleting resources, water and even the ability to grow food. Resolving these escalating issues will be the most important environmental challenge we face this century. In this timely and important book, Dr. Scott, one of Canada’s foremost energy experts, clearly demonstrates that we have only one real choice. We must adopt sustainable energy sources that do not emit carbon dioxide and use these sources to manufacture the twin carbon-free energy currencies, hydrogen and electricity. Together, hydrogen and electricity can provide the full menu of civilization’s energy needs. |

| Interspersed throughout the book are Intermezzo chapters
with Dr. Scott’s stories and metaphors that relate to the book’s
broader scope. From the moment you learn about the cabin boy, you will be
engaged in this unique, lyrical look at Earth, civilization’s energy
system, and looming climate catastrophe. You will learn about metastability and
wonder why you never knew about it before. You will begin to "smell land" for
yourself along the way, you’ll take in a symphony, sail across an ocean,
and marvel at the relationship between a pendulum swinging and an egg hitting a
wall. You will think and you will be entertained. Most of all, you will learn
more about the gravest environmental challenge ever to face mankind—and
much more about its solution.
