Forces of Change: A New View of Nature

Summary: forces of change may force change
Review: Georgeous photos! It's a collection of really very thought provoking essays. Cutler's, Overpecks, and Quammens were especially interesting. The sum total of the intelligence here is astounding. If tomorrow's leaders could take the time to even glance at this collection we'd all benefit. Not necessarily because solutions are offered but because one can't read these essays without taking the planets past, present and future much more seriously.

Summary: A book to keep, to teach from, to learn from
Review: I received this book as a gift. I loved it & recognized that others could benefit from reading it. So I am requiring my university environmental students to use the book.

The photos are great, the writing insightful & thought-provoking, and content is great. It will warn you of some environmental problems, but will also give you hope for our future.
