Plows, Plagues, and Petroleum: How Humans Took Control of Climate (New in Paper) (Princeton Science Library)

 "Great present for the naysayers" 2008-07-06
By Newton Ooi (Phoenix, Arizona United States)
This short and very readable book is one of the latest in a long line of interdisciplinary works that takes research from such diverse fields as geology, biology, history, epidemiology, and climatology, and puts forth a substantial model of how human activity has changed the climate of the world over the past 10,000 years. The book is written by a scientist, and is written such that a layman can understand it. The different chapters focus on specific ways in which humans affect climate, such as thru agriculture, deforestation, fossil fuel consumption, etc... Read from start to finish, they provide a chronological history of man's affect on earth.

The book itself is quite compact and puts forth its arguments succicintly. The author also cites the major arguments against the idea that man can affect nature, and weighs the merits of these arguments. The author cites a lot of primary research done by others before him, and also cites major books in this subject, thereby offering the layman a great source of reading material. The only drawback I could find with this book is the paucity of illustrations. There are many plots of parameters, such as the amount of methane in the atmosphere, over time. However, many of the concepts mentioned in the book could have been better conveyed using images. A good example would have been an illustration show how CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas. But overall, a great book.

 "The Companion to "The Worst Hard Times"" 2009-09-05

If you have read "The Worst Hard Times" you MUST get this video. It is referenced in the book and gives you a visual experience of the awful dust storms that started in the early '30's when the vast expanses of land in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and Kansas were unfortunately stripped and planted. Hard to believe what the video reveals and what you read in the book, but the video gives the sad 'spin' that was promoted at the time. This is a wonderful companion to the book.
