Product Description

Review

'A dialogue between a sceptical businessman, an idealistic youth
and a scientist, with cameos from Gandhi, George Bush and a Geldof
lookalike...if you think this all sounds a bit weird, you would be totally
right - but then the best cartoons often are.' -- THE GUARDIAN

'Evans tackles the grim subject of climate change with cartoons,
but she does it with innovation, humour and clarity. With lots of advice on
positive action and further reading, this well-drawn tome is essential
reading.' -- THE BIG ISSUE

'The threat of global warming may make you weep, but Kate Evans'
brilliant cartoons offer hope and inspiration. And they're funny, too.' -- THE INDEPENDENT

5.0 out of 5 stars Incisive and informative, but painless! 28 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback
This title has really impressed me - fits in A LOT of factual information that would normally have made my head hurt and made me give up. However the interesting characters of an inquisitive schoolgirl, a fatcat businessman and others, drive the narrative forward in such a way that you hardly notice the incredible learning curve you are on, and that your ethical stance is being strengthened by the educational experience you are enjoying so much. These strengths also work to ensure that those not used to the comic format will not even notice, due to the great strengths of the information being conveyed in such an entertaining way.

I thoroughly recommend this - particularly as a christmas gift for any age group, but even for teenagers, as it's definately a 'cool' read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Souffle 21 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
This is cool. Perfect xmas present for your idealistic teenager (who'll identify with the main character) and a fun way to persuade someone sceptical or cynical to take an interest in today's most important and pressing issue.

Light yet heavy (,like a souffle) reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific book on the impact of global warming 18 Nov 2006
By J. Schust - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Easy to read. All the science is up to date (as of 2006), but the book put's it all into clear writing so you don't have to be a scientist to understand the issues.

It's nicely drawn as a comic book, and the characters have interesting dialogue. The comic book format makes it easier to read without getting bored or losing focus.

It's the best introductory book on climate change that I've come across, and now I'm buying copies to lend out to friends. It seems like climate change is finally a matter everyone is getting interested in, and most of us need to be caught up on what the current projections and scenarios are. This book has an introduction by George Monbiot (who spent the past 3 years researching global warming for his 2006 book "Heat").

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
