Will the planet notice the paperback?

Bill McKibben says this book is "an awfully good place to start."

Martin Wolf calls it "lucid and enjoyable."

Matt Kahn asks: "Who knew that an economist not named Krugman could write so well?"

Rob Stavins says that he's been waiting for a book like this "for more than thirty years."
