BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)

Weighing in at 3.7 pounds (not shippable outside of the United States) and in 320 large format pages, "Global Warning: The Last Chance for Change" offers an overize exploration and look at the impending crisis that the delusional Bush so blissfully ignores as he steers us toward his beloved Armageddon.

The photographs in this book offer an astounding visual background to the global warming crisis, its impact, and some incipient solutions.

It also offers an abudance of text, offset by incisive quotations, that wrap around the four-color photographs.

As with "An Incovenient Truth," "Global Warning" begins with the premise that time is running out, down to the hour glass on the front and back covers.

It's an important and readable book for anyone who wants to "see" their way through the intricacies of the man-made catastrophe that awaits us and our planet, while reading an informative accompanying text.

The author, Paul Brown, has 16 years as experience as the environment correspondent at the Guardian of London.

The publsher of "Global Warning" notes that "it delivers a clarion call to action by showing how each of us can do our part by saving the planet."

“The publication of this book comes as the future of the planet hangs in the balance. The recent conclusions from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have put the debate beyond any doubt: climate change is real, and as the vivid images (some provided by Greenpeace) in the following pages show, its impacts are already being felt around the world. This book portrays evidence which gives us a glimpse into a future world of chronic food and water shortages, of wars over scarce resources and of rampant disease. A world in which runaway global warming is out of our control. We need a revolution – one that achieves equilibrium between our energy consumption and the natural systems that sustain us. A revolution that ensures equitable access to the manifest benefits of electricity. Nothing short of such an Energy Revolution will enable us to limit global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius. We must learn again to respect the planet's natural limits. If you have ever been in awe of the power of Earth's climate and weather systems, then be inspired to do something for climate change. Do it today.”

-- Dr. Gerd Leipold, Chairman, International Executive Director
