» I am a solar physicist, who has also studied climate change, and atmospheric dynamics. I do not find such books to be anything more than bunk. The author is a well known bunk writer. If you wish to be...

» This is a great book for kids, especially, but for adults as well; I read it and enjoyed it and learned some things I didn't know about our changing climate. It is loaded with facts and information ab...
» Very nice composition, art work and presentation. A beautiful book.
Unfortunately, herein is a lot of valid science that is irrelevant to the central thesis. Yes, climate change is prob...
» One of the worst things about reading global warming books is that feeling of helplessness that sets in as statistic is added to statistic. Now, at last, Lynne Cherry has produced a well illustrated t...
» I purchased the book to serve as a reference for my First Lego League robotics team as our 2008 challenge is about climate and global warming. The text and format are engaging and the photos are aweso...

» In this clarion call to arms, eminent scientist James Lovelock warns us cogently and eloquently of the impending doom that we have forced upon our planet by global warming. Lovelock is well-qualified ...
» James Lovelock is one of the most brilliant thinkers alive. Yet The Revenge of Gaia is a book of contradiction. If you read it in public, you will look up and around you wondering, "Why is everyone ...
» For all his impressive curriculum, Mr. Lovelock seems much more interested here in vindicating his achievements than in advancing his views on the future of Nature.
He has got some very ...
» This book was bought for my husband. He liked it very much. He had borrowed it from the library and wanted his own copy.

by Kerry Emanuel
Amazon Price: $10.17
Customer Reviews:
» Every person should read this short book to see how complicated and interlaced the earth's weather system is. Then you can decide for yourself if we can change it either way.
» The author, Kerry Emanual, is knowledgeable, fair, and his view balanced. However, it is so brief that the primary contents of this book would make a good article in a popular magazine which can be ...

» If you don't have a lot of time, but want to understand what are the main ideas about climate change, this book is for you. It has only 85 pages total, and the pages are small (like a 4x6" index card...

Amazon Price: $38.70
Customer Reviews:
» In my effort to learn about climate change, I found it admittedly very difficult to read the lengthy IPCC reports (e.g. Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis), so it's wonderful to have Dess...
» I was disappointed in the writing. The book reads like a scientific treatise. The authors write, "This tangling of positive with normative claims, and of explicit arguments with unstated assumptions...
» The book takes a logical stance from the development of observations in science to a political conclusion and what to do about climate change. This is two books. One is the science of global warming...

» This is a good book but it is about as much fun as reading the Dictionary. It's a data book. A reference book of technical data. It has some useful information about energy use in the home. I don't...
