This review is part of the Green Books campaign. Today 200 bloggers take a stand to support books printed in an eco-friendly manner by simultaneously publishing reviews of 200 books printed on recycled or FSC-certified paper. By turning a spotlight on books printed using eco- friendly paper, we hope to raise the awareness of book buyers and encourage everyone to take the environment into consideration when purchasing books. The campaign is organized for the second time by Eco-Libris, a green company working to make reading more sustainable. We invite you to join the discussion on “green” books and support books printed in an eco-friendly manner!…

In the wake of a summer that spawned harsh heat waves and forest fires in Europe; and catastrophic floods in China, Pakistan and elsewhere in Asia, climate debate is back in the news. Debate about the significance or even existence of anthropogenic global warming featured prominently the headlines last winter during the UN climate conference in Copenhagen, the ‘Climategate’ scandal the IPCC and the Met Office were embroiled in; and when parts of Europe and the US experienced unseasonably cold temperatures.

The inquiry, led by senior civil servant Sir Muir Russell, did find however, that the scientists ‘were unhelpful and defensive’ regarding the investigation and that they should have been more open. From a report in the Guardian: They did not…

The much-anticipated novel on climate change from the man known as ‘England’s national author’ is finally hitting the shelves. Solar by Ian McEwan follows a Nobel laureate physicist named Michael Beardwell, who later becomes a green energy entrepreneur.

McEwan delivers the complex characters, detailed research, plot twists and irony that he has become known for. Instead of a debate on climate change or an informative sermon on the dangers of global…
