Charles, 68, has written "The Ladybird Introduction to
Climate Change" with the help of former Friends of the Earth
director Tony Juniper and polar scientist Emily Shuckburgh.
The heir to the throne has long been a fierce critic of climate
change skeptics and the cover image of the book shows a drawing
of the village of Uckfield in southern England, which suffered
extensive flood damage in 2000.
Ladybird books were popular children's guides in the 1960s and
70s and publishers Penguin have now launched a new Ladybird
Expert series of basic guides of which Charles' book is one of
the first.
The book, which goes on sale later this month, has been
extensively peer-reviewed by figures within the environmental
community, said a Penguin spokesman.
Charles' earlier forays into print include a 1980s children's
book, "The Old Man of Lochnagar," which was made into an
animated film by the BBC.
