Sir John Houghton’s Global Warming, the Complete Briefing has just been published in its 4th edition, in colour. For anyone familiar with previous editions, this book is accessible in format and superbly illustrated with lucid diagrams and exactly the photos you would want to see. It is up to date with the latest IPCC findings. Houghton answers the questions we all have, so that no dimension is neglected, from the scientific to the political, personal, and practical. There is even a tactful but powerful inclusion of the spiritual aspect. As one reviewer puts it ‘Seldom has such a complex topic been presented with such remarkable simplicity, directness and crystalline clarity … without doubt the best briefing the concerned citizen could hope to find’ (Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society). It includes a glossary of terms and questions to aid comprehension at the end of each chapter, and in typical Houghton style it ends on a note of hope. Cambridge University Press, £24.99.
