Synopsis

Global Warning is an authoritative and visually stunning book, unique in its approach. While most of the current literature on the subject is highly scientific, this book's aim is to educate the public at large. Graphics and maps, hard-hitting text, and powerful pictures show the plight the world is already facing. The tone is serious, but ultimately positive and outlines what we all need to do to safeguard our future. It provides an honest appraisal of a critical situation, and some practical advice about solutions - whether making small adjustments in everyday life, or raising public awareness across the globe. The book is an invaluable tool to inform business leaders and the public alike of the consequences and opportunities associated with the ongoing increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, and the repercussions of continuing "business as usual". It is clear about the problems which we face, but positive about the possibilities of averting the worst. 'Authoritative, definitive and visually engaging...With a blend of beautiful images and reportage photography, and dense, well-structured information and clear writing, it combines the gloss of a coffee-table book with the journalism and depth of a broadsheet newspaper. ' Birdwatch, October 2007

Media Reviews
Climate change, its causes and consequeces have rarely seemed so tasteful as in these photographs and essays, which present the most promising solutions in full colour, too. The Independent (24h July 2007) The book is clearly written and well researched. The Observer (supp. Review) 12th November 2006 This inspiring, visually arresting book explores the threat of climate change and the possible solutions in a clear-cut and comprehensible way. Sustain Magazine (November 2006) ...A compelling and challenging book. Countryman (January 2007) This is the most balanced account of the subject I have ever read, and excellent value for money, particularly given the quality of the photography. London Cyclist (February/March 2007)
