Gareth Morgan couldn't make up his mind who to believe in the climate change debate. Are we really in the grips of global warming? Or is the earth merely undergoing natural variations in temperatiure and weather patterns? In order to find out, Gareth employed two teams of scientists from either side of this debate to give answers to his questions. These teams are made up of some of the best authorities in their subjects in the world.
Having visited both Antractica and the Arctic Gareth and John add their own observations - and the result is a fascinating read.

The world and its resources are finite, yet we are seemingly locked into a system based on growth: growth of population, growth of income and growth of consumption. From this irrefutable starting point, "Time to Eat the Dog?" attempts to uncover what sustainability really means. Brenda and Robert Vale explore the environmental impact of the decisions we make, from what we eat and what we wear to how we travel and enjoy ourselves. Their book will make you see your life and your place in the world in a completely new light. Challenging the orthodoxies that underpin our entire economic system, this is one subversive read.

Although we all want to help the environment, our knowledge of what are 'green' choices is often so limited that we can do more harm than good. But now a new phenomenon, 'radical transparency', the availability of complete information about all aspects of a product's history, is about to transform the power of consumers and the fate of business.
Ecological Intelligence
shows you: Why a T-shirt that claims it is '100% organic cotton' may be in fact no such thing; Why it's good to buy tulips from Kenya and wine from France; and, That even the type of shampoo you use could affect the future of the planet. Knowledge is power. By discovering how to tune your eco intelligence, Daniel Goleman shows, you can make better decisions, and a better world.

Twenty years ago, in
The End of Nature
, Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those went largely unheeded; now, he argues, we need to acknowledge that we have waited too long and that massive change is not only unavoidable but already underway. Our old familiar planet is melting, drying, acidifying, flooding and burning in ways that humans have never seen. In
Eaarth
, McKibben surveys the changes already taking place and considers what they will mean for the future.

What does a warming world mean for New Zealand - and for you personally? Will we fry and starve, or bask and thrive? How will it affect our standard of living, our overseas trade, our local industry, the future of our children - and our much loved days at the beach?
Science writer Gareth Renowden puts climate change into a New Zealand context, using the latest information just received from the 2007 International Panel On Climate Change's Fourth Assessment Report. In plain language he tells us what we all need to know, including: what changes we can expect and when, what the government can do about it (and not), how individuals and businesses can respond to the challenge and what the potential benefits and disadvantages will be. Renowden lays out the scientific basis for action, and looks at New Zealand's options for mitigation in a scrupulously non-partisan manner.
