How We Can Save the Planet: Preventing Global Climate Catastrophe

by Mayer Hillman and Tina Fawcett and Sudir Chella Rajan

How We Can Save the Planet: Preventing Global Climate Catastrophe Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:


An outstanding overview on global warming, and what we can do about it from a distinguished world-class authority

Climate change is the single biggest problem that humankind has ever had to face, as we continue with lifestyles that are way beyond the planet’s limits. Here Mayer Hillman explains the real issues: what role technology can play, how you and your community can make changes, and why governments must act now to protect our planet for later generations. This book takes us out of the problem and into the solution of our global crisis.

Review:

“A clear-eyed and well-documented overview of global warming, and an optimistic but practical plan for avoiding the worst of the damage . . . a comprehensive, concise, and beautifully organized overview of an undeniably important issue. A must-read for anyone even slightly concerned about our future on this planet.”

- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“If anyone knows a better way to save the planet from runaway global warming, they should speak up.”

- Fred Pearce, author of When the Rivers Run Dry
