Will the planet notice the paperback?

Out today

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."

The Daily Green describes it as: "Lessons in economics and global environmental problems, from a guy you’d actually talk to at a party." And I had never even met the guy. (Hold your joke about that one.)

Go to gwagner.com/planet to read these quotes without me taking them out of context, and to order your copy of the paperback out today.
