"Generation Us is like a climate change CliffNotes...This is a
short, succinct, clear and readable rendering of the
science--followed by a passionate appeal for us all to move from
"Generation Me" (which really seems to have outlasted its
stylishness) to Generation Us, in which we start taking seriously
the opportunity we have to mitigate the climate damage that we have
already inflicted on future generations...For someone coming to
this topic without any science background, GenUs is a perfect
introduction--and as such is an important addition to the climate
library."-- "DeSmogBlog.com"
"Weaver clearly explains what global warming is, suggests reasons
why we should care about the issue and offers some solutions to the
problems that global warming creates...Provides teachers with a
unique tool for introducing information circles and many
opportunities to focus on the concept of transforming as a reading
strategy. I would also recommend Generation Us as a resource for
teachers looking for up to date information on the global warming
issue."-- "Canadian Teacher Magazine"
