Finally - a helpful read that explains the issue! by Katherine Chambers (Houston, Texas)  5 Stars
November 11, 2009
I've been looking for a resource to help break through the clutter and explain the landscape in common terms. An insightful book which helps bring the severity of the issue to light. This is a must read for any concerned American as these issues are impacting us now. Going to pick up a few copies as holiday gifts.

I love this book! by D. Hinerfeld (Los Angeles) 5 Stars
November 11, 2009
Clean Energy Common Sense is fantastic. It distills the latest science, the best informed analysis, and the most thoughtful predictions into a brisk essay that actually leaves one feeling hopeful about the future and inspired to act. Beinecke and Deans don't pull punches about the grim prospects that await us if we continue to dither. But they layout a clear roadmap that we can use to navigate toward a clean energy future if, collectively, we can only summon the political will. And this book should go a long way toward creating that political will. I highly recommend Clean Energy Common Sense to anyone who wants to participate in solving the great challenge of our generation.

Quick and Compelling by Alexis Goldstone 5 Stars
November 10, 2009
This is easily the best book I have read on the topic of climate change. The narrative is compelling and reads easily, but the concepts presented are some of the most important and complex of our time. Beinecke provides a clear and concise presentation of facts that will affect not just our children's and their children's world, but the world we live in today. Bravo!

Better than Al Gore by Stefania (Washington, DC) 5 Stars
November 06, 2009
This lively, well-written primer is a must for anyone who wants to understand the facts about climate change. As up-to-date as this morning's headlines, it pulls together all the current research so that readers can make up their own minds. If an informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny (as somebody said, or should have), then the $9.95 invested in this book will be a lot more efficient than the Pentagon budget.
