Media Reviews
The Winds of Change is fascinating -- a tour de force. Linden has accumulated a greater comprehension of paleo-climatic and oceanographic issues than all but a very few scientists. I have nothing but admiration for this book, which is just what we need right now.

-- George Woodwell, founder of the Woods Hole Research Center and former president of the Ecological Society of America


Hurricanes, floods, droughts, melting ice caps -- Nature's serving them up at what seems like an ever-increasing clip. Which makes this compelling account of the weather's impact on civilization the book of the moment for all of us. Eugene Linden elegantly weaves history, science, and narrative into a must-read tale of the earth's most powerful forces.

-- Susan Casey, author of The Devil's Teeth
