A terrific book on the impact of global warming
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 ...

Everyone in every country should read this book
This book is a reminder of the real working of the political system, and how it interacts with big business and the public, and who's really in control. Whether it's England, Canada or the US, the picture is essentially the same. If you're puzzled by political decision or frustrated by your failing cause, this fabulous book may have the answers. It is depressing to know of the amount of ...

Idealistic Book with Good Ideas
This book is about a fairer deal for the poor countries of the world. It espouses the idea of a World Parliament and an International Clearing Union. The former is aimed at making the nations of the world accountable for their actions and the latter at redressing what the author sees as the economic anomalies of the world, whereby rich nations reap an undue benefit from the poorer worlds' ...
