THE INDEPENDENT
'The threat of global warming may make you weep, but Kate Evans'
brilliant cartoons offer hope and inspiration. And they're funny, too.'

THE BIG ISSUE
'Evans tackles the grim subject of climate change with cartoons,
but she does it with innovation, humour and clarity. With lots of advice on
positive action and further reading, this well-drawn tome is essential
reading.'

THE GUARDIAN
'A dialogue between a sceptical businessman, an idealistic youth
and a scientist, with cameos from Gandhi, George Bush and a Geldof
lookalike...if you think this all sounds a bit weird, you would be totally
right - but then the best cartoons often are.'

Customer Reviews

Incisive and informative, but painless!
This title has really impressed me - fits in A LOT of factual information that would normally have made my head hurt and made me give up. However the interesting characters of an inquisitive schoolgirl, a fatcat businessman and others, drive the narrative forward in such a way that you hardly notice the incredible learning curve you are on, and that your ethical stance is being strengthened by the educational experience you are enjoying so much. These strengths also work to ensure that those not used to the comic format will not even notice, due to the great strengths of the information being conveyed in such an entertaining way.

I thoroughly recommend this - particularly as a christmas gift for any age group, but even for teenagers, as it's definately a 'cool' read.

Souffle
This is cool. Perfect xmas present for your idealistic teenager (who'll identify with the main character) and a fun way to persuade someone sceptical or cynical to take an interest in today's most important and pressing issue.

Light yet heavy (,like a souffle) reading.
