5.0 out of 5 stars Makes ecological debt accessible, 31 Jan 2006
By Miss L Greene (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is an exceptionally engaging and human book for a very weighty set of issues. I bought this book for several friends at xmas who I have trouble engaging in what is the biggest human rights and inequality issue of our time - climate change. This book really ties in the human impact story to the climate change agenda. It's amazing how many people haven't made this link. Andrew Simms writes in an exceptionally engaging and imaginative way. It took me a couple of chapters to warm up, but by the end I was totally hooked - reading for pleasure, not education and writing my list of who else to buy it for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A damn good read, 6 Jun 2005
By D. Boyle "David Boyle" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Most books about global warming - important though the issue is - tend to be a little on the worthy side, and deeply depressing. This book is neither. There are worrying facts, but the verve with which Andrew Simms writes, the stories he includes, as well as the photographs and bizarre illustrations, make this one of the key texts for the debate, and the most readable. It not only deserves to be read - not least for the important introduction to a whole new idea (eco-debt) - but it actually will be.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasure to read, 3 Feb 2006
By Benito Muller (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
Simms has managed to write an essay on a difficult, complex and pressing issue in extremely accessible terms which are a pleasure to read and can be unequivocally recommended to anyone interested in poverty and the state of the environment.
