- Bill Bryson,
An engaging book that manages to present serious science without preaching. It offers tools that any reader
will be able to use and make informed choices, and even seasoned ecoenthusiasts will be in for plenty of surprises
New Scientist
Enjoyable, fun to read and scientifically robust. A triumph of popular science writing.
- Chris Goodall,
If we're serious about really addressing climate change, we need to become energy and carbon literate, and get to grips with the implications not only of our choices but also the bigger infrastructures which underpin the things we consume. How can we educate our desires unless we know what we're choosing between? Mike Berners Lee, to my complete delight, has provided just the wonderful foundation we need - a book that somehow made me laugh while telling me deeply serious things.
- Peter Lipman, Director of SUSTRANS,
This book is amazing. I was either going "wow" or snorting with laughter.
- Rachel Nunn, Director, Carbon Neutral Stirling,
Curiously fascinating to both climate geeks and well-rounded human beings alike.
- Franny Armstrong, Director of The Age of Stupid and founder of 10:10,
