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."

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Simplistic Explanation of Global Warming, 28 Sep 2008
"A very interesting book, dealing with all aspects of climate change and global warming, and especially good for someone who knew very little about the subject, like myself ! The book is basically a factual account on the topic of global warming, with each chapter taking you through an alphabetic journey through the subject matter. Well written and illustrated throughout. A very handy and concise guide.... if not a little un-nerving ! "

4.0 out of 5 stars Creative, Inspirational, Educational, 26 Sep 2008
By Ms. E. Duval "Emappeal" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Global warming encyclopedia, 21 Sep 2008
By N. R. A. Gregory - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!
