"...a widely praised book on global warming and its consequences." The Economist

"...the best single-volume guide to the science of climate change." Times Literary Supplement

"...this complete briefing on global warming is remarkably factual and inclusive. Houghton's concern about planet Earth and its people blends well with his hopes for global cooperation." Choice

"With the small cavet that a good teacher is required to wield it properly, I highly recommend this textbook." EOS, Keith Alverson
