Contains almost everything you need to know about climate change and, more
importantly, what you can do about it.

A comprehensive enceclopedia for a bright future
Categorized in clear fields of interest,
introducting many new technologies, organizational aspects and social improvments for a sustainable future.

A book that deserves to be in your library. I use it as an encyclopedia and referrer to other online and offline sources. Great!
