Field Notes from A Catastrophe: 1-34

1.I think the author gives good facts in her writing, while at the same time tries to paint out a picture for the reader as she educates them. GOOD DETAILS!
2. I like the fact that she says in the preface " I have tried to keep the discussion of scientific theory to a minimum while offering a full-enough account to convey what is truly at stake." It shows that yes she does know what she is talking about and that yes she is trying to dumb her writing down in a way to make it easier for people to understand that GLOBAL WARMING is a BIG DEAL!
3.I think the reading is easy to get into, its written like a novel, or a story. Not like a article that just states the facts. It tells the story of the permafrost and the smoke for days and weeks.
