This book has been a real treat for the reluctant readers I teach. The text is simple and the boys love reading the subtle illustrations even more, finding themselves drawn into the details and hints littered through the story. Truly chilling and truly great.

I picked up this book by accident and I galloped through the first 50 or so pages - about the fabric of the buildings collapsing. I ran out of steam after this though, partly because I was hoping that we would get beyond the superficial. We did, but not in quite the same detail. I would have liked more thought and debate about the species mix we have created. We've moved plants and creatures around the planet, some unwittingly, others not. This is glossed over. There are of course sections on farming, cats and so on, but isn't one of the biggest problems facing conservationists that of trying to maintain pockets of native species? The caged-off areas in Australia, etc. Quite disappointing that the possible future of the species was overlooked. ... Read More:

How to Live a Low-carbon Life: The Individual's Guide to Stopping Climate Changeby: Chris Goodall February 08, 2007 Search: environmental issues |
||
|
Despite the strong evidence for global warming, neither industries nor governments are changing their assumption that the world has an inexhaustible supply of inexpensive fossil fuel. Instead, individuals will make the difference, because consumer desires fuel the business cycle. In chapters that cover daily activities such as home heating, cooking, travel and use of appliances, Chris Goodall explains how you can reduce your carbon emissions from an average of 12.5 tons per year to three. Though the book sometimes bogs down in an overabundance of information, charts and formulas, we recommend it to individuals and organizations who want to learn how they can make an immediate difference.

My 10 year old read this quicker and with more enthusiasm than most of his previous books. A great page turner and educational as well. What more could you want?

Climate Confusion: How Global Warming Leads to Bad Science, Pandering Politicians and Misguided Policies That Hurt the Poorby: Spencer April 01, 2008 Search: environmental issues |
||
|
It's not difficult to discern University of Alabama meteorologist Roy W. Spencer's bias. He writes forthrightly on page 5, "I believe that the only rights that the natural world has are those conferred upon it by humans."
This sort of God-like arrogance characterizes much of what he writes. He ridicules science and beats up on the usual right wing bogeymen, Al Gore, actors, Hollywood, etc. What he doesn't mention here is that he had a conversion a few years ago when he rejected biological evolution in favor of Intelligent Design. While it could be argued that the author of a book on climate need not mention that he is a creationist, it does give the reader pause to realize that Spencer not only is a global warming denier, he is also in that very tiny ...

The Global Casino: An Introduction to Environmental Issues (Arnold Publication)by: Nicholas J. Middleton May 30, 2003 Search: environmental issues |

I read this book during the first year of my Geography degree and can tell you that it was absolutely priceless. It was also referred to, though not as much during my second and third years. A really good book for an introduction to, as the title suggests, environmental issues.
