Product Description

Review

Praise for 'High Tide': 'If you are among those who think climate change is an uncertain, remote issue over which scientists are unsure, politicians talk endlessly to little effect, and mere individuals have no power at all, this book may be for you.' Guardian 'There will be many more books like 'High Tide', but this will be remembered as the first!it'll be the one with the original vision!Not unworthy of comparison with Orwell and certainly the breaker of new ground.' Independent 'Mark Lynas!has time-travelled into our terrifying collective future!Go with him on this breathtaking, beautifully told journey!I promise that you will come back!determined to alter the course of history.' Naomi Klein, author of 'No Logo' 'Clear, lucid and informative.' New Statesman 'A thoroughly engaging and well-researched book.' Times Literary Supplement

New Statesman

'Buy this book for everyone you know...it might just save their
lives.'

This important book should be compulsory reading in all secondary schools, colleges and, most of all, by all politicians.

4.0 out of 5 stars The future if we continue to act stupidly, 19 May 2010

A. Cotton "AJR" (London UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Paperback)

An interesting easy to read book. I'm relatively well informed with regards to climate change and issues of sustainability so nothing in this book should really come as a surprise. Nevertheless its discomforting to have it laid out so clearly. This book is worth reading and passing to people who need nudging and their eyes open.

Mr. L. M. Nicol - See all my reviews

This review is from: Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet (Paperback)

This is a fascinating glimpse of the future. Glad I will not live to see most of it. I will now try to find the counter arguments.
