A Book Report on Five Books

I wrote a five-part book report for some friends in December of 2004. It reviews and compares the following five books.

What these books have in common is that they all, in one way or another, focus on the coming global ecological and climatological crisis and offer their author’s ideas for how we (humanity) should deal with these problems.

1. Plan B – Rescuing a Planet under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble by Lester R. Brown

2. One with Nineveh: Politics, Consumption and the Human Future by Paul R. Ehrlich & Anne H. Ehrlich

3. Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled the Climate Crisis – and What We Can Do to Avert Disaster by Ross Gelbspan

4. Red Sky at Morning: America and the Crisis of the Global Environment by James Gustave Speth

5. The Future of Life by Edward O. Wilson
