| The Rough Guide to Climate Change, 2nd Edition |
|
 Robert Henson
The Rough Guide to Climate Change gives the complete picture of the single biggest issue facing the planet. Cutting a swathe through scientific research and political debate, this completely updated 2nd edition lays out the facts and assesses the options- global and personal- for dealing with the threat of a warming world. The guide looks at the evolution of our atmosphere over the last 4.5 billion years and what computer simulations of climate change reveal about our past, present, and future. |

| Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis |
|
 Al Gore
It is now abundantly clear that we have at our fingertips all of the tools we need to solve the climate crisis. The only missing ingredient is collective will.
Properly understood, the climate crisis is an unparalleled opportunity to finally and effectively address many persistent causes of suffering and misery that have long been neglected, and to transform the prospects of future generations, giving them a chance to live healthier, more prosperous lives as they continue their pursuit of happiness.
Our Choice gathers in one place all of the most effective solutions that are available now and that, together, will solve this crisis. It is meant to depoliticize the issue as much as possible and inspire readers to take action?not only on an individual basis but as participants in the political processes by which every country, and the world as a whole, makes the choice that now confronts us.
There is an old African proverb that says, If you want to go quickly, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.
We have to go far, quickly.
We can solve the climate crisis. It will be hard, to be sure, but if we can make the choice to solve it, I have no doubt whatsoever that we can and will succeed.

 Marion Nestle
What to Eat, an aisle-by-aisle guide to supermarket buying and thus an anatomy of American food business. The way food is situated in today's society discourages healthful food choices, Nestle tells us, a fact that finds literal representation in our supermarkets, where food placement--dependant on slotting fees, guaranteed advertising and other incentives--determines every purchase we make. |
