Using the tropes of the superhero genre, where Concrete often finds himself thrust into life-or-death adventures, Chadwick weaves in broader themes of the environment and social issues, along with the humorous quotidian details of Concrete's life as a walking boulder, such as his difficulties with unsupportive furniture...
...certain it means that the sea, expanding as it heats up, will rise. Sure, says climatologist Tom Wigley of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., we can do things that temper the eventual extent of that rise--which could be as little as 4 in. or as much as 3 ft. by the year 2105--but we can do nothing about the sea-level increase to which the climate system is already committed.

...property in Pima County, Ariz., and leaps onto the flat roof of their adobe-style house. As long as their pet terrier, Stella, is inside, they don't worry much. "The bobcat jumps around up there and takes care of the mice," says Carolyn, 61, a clinical psychologist from Boulder, Colo. The Zeigers also get the occasional rattlesnake on their porch, and in the summer they have to stay indoors to avoid the midday heat. But despite those inconveniences--and in part because of them--they have developed a deep love of the desert in the five years since they...
