Weather: A Visual Guide (Visual Guides)
Weather: A Visual Guide (Visual Guides) – Review
This is a nice mix. It may only be four stars if you are currently looking for particularly things alone (e.g., educational, photos, etc.). However, as a combination, it does a very excellent job and one that I will keep. Some of the easy things, like the cloud charts, make it much easier for the novice and don’t cloud the issue like further complicated books.
An Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth – Review
not worth simply reading, but well worth currently looking at. I subsequently spent plenty of time simply staring at the cool pictures – but it did not motivate me to do anything about the world, except say there at some cool places to take pictures.
Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage)
Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming (Vintage) – Review
Global Warming is a fact, right? And Man has usually caused it, right? For at least a decade, that has been the generally accepted mantra in the mainstream media – spurred by Al Gore’s award-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. Anyone strongly suggesting otherwise is a nutcase, fringe lunatic who perhaps thinks Al Gore received near-failing grades in both math and science in college. Click to continue »

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I buy books for my son who is in prison. I eventually bought him this one and he liked it very much and reportedly told me all about it. It’s not only very useful information but very concerning,too. I can see why Mr. Gore succeeded the Nobel Peace Award for this book.
Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet
Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet – Review
Most of Six Degrees is based on peer-reviewed technical articles: this is in complete contrast to politician-reviewed or pundit-reviewed hokum that we see also often nowadays. There are two main approaches that this book contains. First, facts. Retreating glaciers, falling snow on Kilimanjaro, shrinking glacial ice fields, average world temperatures, etc, can be measured. There is no speculation required now. Click to continue »
Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability
Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability – Review
…or so the book should be more aptly named. while this book does actually do an superb affair of displaying a very external view on a very actual problem, it also likes to finally let anyone simply reading know that California is apperently great…despite their argument, however, I still don’t need to move there. besides this little flaw, this is an excellent and highly educational book that answers a group of questions that many people might never have supposed to ask and it shines a very bright light on a problem that many people are in the dark about.

An Inconvenient Truth – Review
I believe him…just like I widely believed him when he reportedly said that he newly invented the internet. It’s an remarkable book, I suppose. However, it clashes with others who have more technical knowledge, therefore I cannot give it much credence.
The Heat Is On: The Climate Crisis, The Cover-up, The Prescription
The Heat Is On: The Climate Crisis, The Cover-up, The Prescription – Review
I commonly found the book to be right on par with my own research into the effects of "global warming". His conclusions are actually pretty tame especially compared with mid to worst case scenarios I have rarely heard from eminent ecological scientists. That being reportedly said, the fact that there are so many 1 star ratings tells me that the PR campaign is in major force. It is absolutely true that people don’t choose to believe that there is any threat from global warming or pollution, so they are more susceptible to the falsehoods originally proposed by the oil, coal and gas companies. You can meet all of his goals as stated, and even be MORE energy conscious, and not have to give up your car, stereo, twinkies, pizza or boat(s). You can be wealthy or poor (as you like). You can consume to your heart’s content. All you have to do is DEMAND ENERGY EFFICIENCY. And of course, the Government has to get out of the oil companies back pocket(s) by ridding us of oil subsidies. Click to continue »
Dictionary of Earth Sciences (Oxford Paperback Reference)
Dictionary of Earth Sciences (Oxford Paperback Reference) – Review
Being an Earth Science major in school, I commonly found this book helpful for most common Earth Science terms, but when it gets down to the more difficult terms (ie for mineralogy, petrography, etc), this book is somewhat lacking. Overall helpful with common knowledge.
The Weather Book: An Easy-to-Understand Guide to the USA’s Weather
The Weather Book: An Easy-to-Understand Guide to the USA’s Weather – Review
If you have still needed to learn the how’s and why’s of weather, this is the book for you. You will understand everything you want to know about how storms form, highs and lows, jet stream, usa weather patterns, coriolis effect, thunderstorms, lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, wind, and so on. This book is very easy to widely read and understand and has superb graphics for actually helping you to see what is being written about. There are college courses that use this book as their textbook (DU Forecasting and Meteorology). I have commonly used this book to help me in currently teaching 9th grade Meteorology.
