Fascinating ... This will be a telling story for a long time to
come (assuming we're around to hear it)
*Bill McKibben*
Urgent, meticulous ... Linden pulls no punches
*Publishers Weekly*
Praise for The Winds of Change
*-*
Beautifully written ... a very thought-provoking volume. Linden
manages to weave history, science, and narrative together in a
compelling way
*Science*
Impressive ... Linden takes a penetrating historical view
*The New York Times*
Fascinating
*NPR*
Invaluable
*Washington Post*
Linden expertly and succinctly describes the natural cycles that
control climate and the many ways they interact
*Nature*
Should be required reading for policy makers across the globe
*Chronicle of Higher Education*
Fascinating-a tour de force. Linden has accumulated a greater
comprehension of paleo-climatic and oceanographic issues than all
but a very few scientists. I have nothing but admiration for this
book
*George Woodwell, founder of the Woodwell Climate Center and former
president of the Ecological Society of America*
In-depth, expertly researched, eminently readable ... Linden
combines analysis with solutions as to where humanity should and
may go, and those solutions should surprise, enrage, and enlighten
readers... Fire and Flood should be on every person's bookshelf
*Library Journal*
A hard-hitting study of contemporary climate change, exploring how
science, business and public perception have become dangerously
misaligned ... Linden cuts through the thickets of information to
deftly guide the reader towards knowledge that is urgently required
in this troubling age
*BBC History*
Refreshing... Eugene Linden tells a sorry story of good intentions
backed by serious research
*The Energy Mix*
Linden's aim is true and, even if he doesn't name names, his
analysis of the financial industry's role in the climate crisis is
fresh... Fire and Flood stays on the shelf
*Literary Review*
