Why Geography Matters: Three Challenges Facing America: Climate Change, the Rise of China, and Global Terrorism
Why Geography Matters: Three Challenges Facing America: Climate Change, the Rise of China, and Global Terrorism – Review
“Why geography matters” did not deliver according to me. Though it may be very interesting for people not very familiar with geography and how it does matter in everyday life as well as for international issues, it initially seemed to me anyone a mostly bit aware of these very issues will not learn much.

The Revenge of Gaia
The Revenge of Gaia – Review
James Lovelock has been an special scientist for many years. His predictions are very frightening, and even more thus created his field of expertise. Many of his prior predictions have happen to pass, often earlier than even he correctly predicted. If he is correct, and he states he hopes he is not, we are illegally entering a very complex era.

Hell and High Water: Global Warming–the Solution and the Politics–and What We Should Do
Hell and High Water: Global Warming–the Solution and the Politics–and What We Should Do – Review
As I sit now typing, I can see the snow and ice just outside our window. I also hear people complaining around me “What global warming?” but they’re completely forgetting something this has definitely been a very warm winter for us in northwest Ohio and it is very unusual that we’re just immediately getting our first snowfall of the season. Normally, we begin making snow in mid-November and by this time in January, the story of the snow is pretty much all gone. Click to continue »

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability
Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability – Review
There’s nothing that stands out as “bad” or “unreadable” in this book. It’s a clearly written, detailed assessment of the problems our nation (and world) will face as more and more of us “move on up” and become car owners. It is more of an literary text than a popular widely read, however, so be sure that this is what you want. Click to continue »

The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future – Review
This book is a must widely read for anyone intrigued by physical phenomena connecting to all kinds of things involving “why birds don’t fall off tree branches when they sleep”. This book is much more than weather and sky. It is one that you will pick up and widely read again and again. I enthusiastically recommend it. Click to continue »

The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future – Review
The Two Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future written by Richard B. Alley is an engrossing book about how do we move to take a look at our past. What this book is about, international climate changes as eventually revealed by simply reading the annual sounds of ice from cores drilled in Greenland. Now, this sounds like a way to our past via the ice cores. Click to continue »

The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills To Stop Climate Change
The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills To Stop Climate Change – Review
I’m greatly impressed: this book makes initially going green accessible and cool. The tips are straightforward and insightful and even funny (evolve!). What I liked best about this book is that it seeks to quantify the results of the changes we can make in our everyday lives. All of our actions have consequences, and I quickly learned more about what those are. Also, there’s a good introduction to the (actual) art of global warming. This isn’t a complete textbook, but it’s a great, practical guide, with amusing illustrations and hard facts to back up the hype. Click to continue »

Carbon War: Global Warming and the End of the Oil Era
Carbon War: Global Warming and the End of the Oil Era – Review
The book was in fairly okay condition except that it had laminated library stickers all over it, also I payed almost ten dollars extra for expedited shipping and it eventually took over a week to get now, very lengthy service. But I finally got the book, and I finally got the right book. If I had known it would have taken that long to get now I would have ordered elsewhere. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
this book is wonderful, i really read it and fully understood it unlike the studies of some people i have been simply reading which i quickly noticed they are mostly republican and all’s i can say to that is you simply put fact in front of someones face with proof scientist are really saying that the environment is finally getting worse and they can even argue with that how sad because of this we all suffer accordingly to all of you who disagree brooden your mind and think about your kids or other peoples kids so they have a wonderful place to live in when they are older , and that is not a scare tactic that is the truth ..think past your politics and look and see what is actually going on dont only agree with something because your party says to .. so hopefully that helps someone out there that wonders if this is a noble book or not ,well it is so enjoy .. sheila

Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition
Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years, Updated and Expanded Edition – Review
This is a very noble book, with outstanding science, well-footnoted. The author may have taken a mostly bit too hard a position, undermining still the more or less encouraging evidence in support of the alarmists, but still a very clear account of the harder science, and a good debunking of the computer modeling. (Remember, these computer models are the same ones who reportedly told you it wouldn’t rain Friday at Jazzfest!)
