This wonderful book deserves all the praise we can heap on it, and much more: it could make such an impression on you and the way you live, indeed, the way we all live. We are all guilty of making excuses not to change our lifestyles, especially when it comes to global warming and climate change - travel, recycling, food, energy, waste and finance, too. That's why What About China? is such a valuable book: it flips the excuses on their heads, giving cogent, informative and entertaining answers to the questions we must not hide behind. From the common - Why should we reduce our use of plastic bags?, to the complex - What about nuclear fusion? and the controversial - What is the point of doing anything, when China opens a new power station every week? - the positive responses are sure to motivate and inspire you to action. So, not only does it dispel the myths that we all try to use to justify the way we live and to avoid change, it gives the encouragement that everyone needs in order to make a difference. 159pp, 130mm x 198mm, illus. in b&w, softback, 2008
