More About the Author
Product Description
Tim Smit CBE Chief Executive of the Eden Project, Cornwall UK.
"This is an excellent, witty and imaginative book that looks at climate change through the lens of simplicity without the jargon and scientific detail which so often dogs this subject. It has a humour and tongue in cheek approach which highlights both the importance of the subject, but the need to engage the reader and not fill him or her with a hopeless sense of guilt. Enjoy¡¨
Sir Crispin Tickell GCMG KCVO
"The chapters I have seen amount to a useful simplification in an unusual format of some very complex issues."

Format:Paperback
Concise, educational, practical, complete guide on global warming is a must for anyone interested in the subject. Easy to read and written to appeal to the lay person, this book takes the reader on an alphabetic journey of the topic.

Format:Paperback
A well written and researched book on the subject, dealing with the known scientific facts on global warming, sourced by the author from many different reference points including NASA, NOAA, The World Wildlife Fund, and Sterns Review on the Economics of Climate Change to name a few. The A-Z format, makes this a very unusual and easy read in this particular subject matter, and the book comes with some intriguing and amusing illustrations which add a little light heartedness to this worrying subject. I was a little sceptical about the problem to be honest, but after reading this book, the scientific facts would appear clear... we dont' have much time left to take action to avert serious problems if the causes of global warming are not addressed soon! An essential read on the topic!

Format:Paperback
Although the terminally inclement weather in Britain sometimes makes me wonder if and when global warming will affect this part of the world, Mr. Rosser's passionate and "ordinary person" approach to the subject is refreshing. He explains concepts of global warming in plain terms and the key points at the end of each chapter are very helpful.
Evidently, the author is also the artist. The drawings throughout the book are very appealing and nearly tell the story all on their own.
The book is just the right length and has nice feel to it. With so many books currently available on this subject, this one stands out as a favorite.

Nice A-Z format, but the writer has taken the "warmist / alarmist" one-sided view of the story. Using quotes from politically motivated NGOs such as the WWF and other such... Read more
