Too hot to handle

摘要

Heat. Burning, searing, scorching. Without it, life on Earth would be impossible, and yet the range of temperatures within which life can survive is extremely narrow. In a follow up to his 2009 book, Cold, Bill Streever embarks on a trip across the world in a quest to see and experience places with extremes of heat - and to investigate the extremes to which we have gone to generate it.
