Book Favorite

"A fascinating, immensely readable book regarding Teddy Roosevelt’s intense love for nature and how, during his presidency, he essentially became one of the very first eco-warriors."

What is essentially a heartwarming family story with sci-fi and Eco overtones starts promisingly and doesn't confuse too much, the final act however quickly loses you in it's very own event horizon and is very tough going, not for everyone!

The Late Michael Crichton's entry into the eco-thriller genre, which I'm sure would have been (and probably still is) pretty controversial on it' s release, as he essentially builds a story round disproving the supposed(?) dangers of Global Warning.

Book Favorite

"No, the environment is not hopelessly despoiled and depauperate, says eco-modernist Stewart Brand. Children of the 1970s will appreciate the title, an allusion to Brand’s groundbreaking “Whole Earth Catalog,” which merged technology with the counterculture and encouraged global consciousness with the breathtaking earthrise photograph on the cover."
