Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Galvanised into action by a 2001 "Time" article on climate change, Wendy Abrams spearheaded Chicago's 'Cool Globes' public art exhibit, which showcased 123 artist-designed globes, each offering its own perspective on global warming. "Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet" offers full-colour photos of the pieces, along with commentary from the artists, statistics about the environment, and useful advice on how each of us can change our lives to keep things cooler on planet Earth. A companion piece to the installation, this work will help spread the message of the exhibit beyond the estimated 3-5 million people who visited the globes. Avoiding the 'doom and gloom' attitude of many global warming messages, Abrams and the artists seek to inform the public about a pressing situation in a constructive manner. And the book is refreshingly apolitical - "Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet" makes our environment a human issue, not a political one.

Hot Ideas for a Cooler Plant does a great job of celebrating Chicago's successful Cool Globes exhibition while also providing valuable insight into the critical problem of global warming. A perfect gift for anyone who wants to know more about how they can help prevent a global crisis. Beautiful photography, illustration and design!
