5.0 out of 5 stars A riveting and beautiful account of the science of climate change, September 11, 2010
By 
Michael Meadon (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scorched: South Africa's Changing Climate (Paperback)
Unfortunately, South Africa does not have very many science journalists who know their stuff. Fortunately, we South Africans DO have Leonie Joubert, who is certainly on the side of science and reason and, yes, she knows her stuff. "Scorched", her first book, is a riveting and beautiful - albeit frightening - account of the science of climate change and its projected effect on South Africa. While not perfect (there are a few stylistic solecisms, there are missing references and Joubert sometimes bombards her readers with facts) "Scorched" ought to be widely read. The South African reality-based community, at a minimum, should all go out and buy this book and policy-makers would do well to pay attention.
