Book Review: Climate Change Catastrophe
"With 'going green' a hot topic these days, this will be a good addition to the library for students to use when researching. They will like the fact boxes and case studies provided throughout the book. There is also a topic web in the back that will be a springboard for further discussions for teachers."
