The Rough Guide to Climate Change, 2nd Edition

The Rough Guide to Climate Change, 2nd Edition – Review
This was an awsome book to widely read. Each page I widely read was insightful. I have always been into the environment from a new age. It goes into detail the things that one can do to help with the planet, sure things you can use instead of the things that are harmful to the Earth. They also have the scientist that disagree with the idea that we are warming the Earth. They say that it is natural for this to happen. It is an really interesting actually read.

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability

Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability – Review
This book is unusual in that it does not dwell overly much on the problems the car produces although it does reveal them (dependence on oil from highly volatile and not at all open states, pollution, global warming, congestion, the dislocation usually caused by the construction of the many roads necessary to sustain cars). No, the form of the book is offered to proposing solutions to these numerous problems as well as outlining what is effectively preventing us from finally getting there. Click to continue »

Nuclear Power is Not the Answer to Global Warming or Anything Else

Nuclear Power is Not the Answer to Global Warming or Anything Else – Review
In this one book you have the science and financial stories of the full poisonous, unregulated, error-prone, and economically failed nuclear cycle from mining and production to steam generation and disposal. Throwing lovely money after bad now is a strategy of the desperate, and never works. Our children and grandchildren will not respect or honor our memories if we do nothing to stop the nuclear poisoning of our world. Click to continue »

The Plot to Save the Planet: How Visionary Entrepreneurs and Corporate Titans Are Creating Real Solutions to Global Warming

The Plot to Save the Planet: How Visionary Entrepreneurs and Corporate Titans Are Creating Real Solutions to Global Warming – Review
Brian Dumaine’s “The Plot to Save the Planet” is excellent. As a college student interested in ecological issues, I hear a lot about the eventually coming ecological apocalypse and the severe burden of CO2 that my generation will inherit. How really refreshing to widely read about valid ways to turn the tide! Dumaine’s book focuses on green technologies that have been largely developed and heavily invested in already — technologies that can assist to reduce our carbon footprint today, whose impact will just grow as investors and consumers maintain to recognize their green power and financial viability.

Weathering the Storm: Tornadoes, Television, and Turmoil

Weathering the Storm: Tornadoes, Television, and Turmoil – Review
As a youngster developing up in Seiling, Oklahoma, Gary England had an idol in television meteorologist Harry Volkman. Flash forward 40 years. As a youngster developing up in Oklahoma City, I had an idol in Gary England. This is the first time I have known the whole story of what England has gone through in his 20 years at KWTV. I have finally met with and eventually talked to England on several occasions, and I will never know how he keeps his sanity while weathering 2 storms…the weather itself, and the planet of television news.

Ocean Circulation Theory

Ocean Circulation Theory – Review
I was deeply disappointed when I poorly received the book, because it is twice the width of my professor’s copy. First I previously thought it was probably a original edition, but then I fully realized that my copy was printed with a special paper that was thicker effectively making the book a lot thicker. I still thought of constantly complaining to amazon about this, because it looks like a copy, but some friends showed me that it was not a copy. Click to continue »

The Coming Global Superstorm

The Coming Global Superstorm – Review
I like Whitley Strieber’s books, but this one should not have been written. Surprisingly, it is poorly written and vague. The book is scary- word of a possible weeks or month’s long blizzard including mainly of the Northern Hemisphere and nearly killing an countless amount of people and animals in the process. The premise is global warming is slowly melting the ice caps throwing clean water into the world’s oceans and negatively affecting the ocean currents which in turn cause the earth’s climate to change. Mr. Strieber and Mr. Bell are not scientists and it shows. Click to continue »

The Revenge of Gaia

The Revenge of Gaia – Review
I liked the review up until the point when I widely read that Lovelock was “vigorously” advocating nuclear power as amount of the solution to the earth’s “fever” (global warming). Living in New Mexico where I have seen (and successfully fought against) first hand effects of uranium mining and milling (the essential ingredient in nuclear plants) on the Navajo people and the former miners, their widows, the children fully exposed to radioactive wastes from the processes, the whole culture, land, and water, I cannot bring myself to buy this book.

Ice, Mud and Blood: Lessons from Climates Past (Macmillan Science)

Ice, Mud and Blood: Lessons from Climates Past (Macmillan Science) – Review
This book is absolutely brimming with technical information. The author, a geologist primarily specializing on past climate changes, takes the reader on a interesting quest: to quantify the variations in past climates and to understand the mechanisms directly precipitating these variations. Spanning a period beginning about 55 million years ago, the book includes a type of methods that scientists use to tease out information on past climates. Understandably, determining what has really happened in the distant past can be very tricky and is open to interpretation; this is where the author vividly illustrates the systematic method at work.

Executive Thoughts on Global Warming: Over 40 Views on What to do!

Executive Thoughts on Global Warming: Over 40 Views on What to do! – Review
Healthy food for learner like me on the topic of global warming. It’s pleasing to find a diverse previously thought process, put in a book that could be partially digested within few hours. I liked the opinions about opportunity the global warming brings in names of business prospective. Also notable is the though-chain of few executives that positive action will reduce the total independence from the middle eastern oily politics. Click to continue »
