Great disappointment… particularly on Global Warming. The author should drop the cheap quasi-scientific bubbles of the conservative anti-GW establishment and go read some real science. Less science should not “balance” good science merely to serve petty political correctness. I recommend to the author attention to the frequent publications of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It has been established by WMO and UNEP to assess scientific, technical and socio- economic information relevant for the understanding of climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation.
1 star for the cartoon work.

THIS BOOK DEALS WITH FACTS, NOT FICTION. One of the people wrote in the review:” disappointed that it doesn’t deal with any issues today that are killing the earth. it should focus more on the effects of global warming, destruction of our rain forests, killing off of our animals and plants, and the new technologies we have…”
I am glad it does not deal especially with global warming. As many scientists that support it are against it. The more I read about global warming the more I believe that it is a political agenda rather than a fact. Any books stating Global warming is a fact is same as stating with a fact that we were created by God. Nobody knows where we came from. Was it evolution or was it God? Do not get me wrong, I do believe in preserving and saving and trying not to polute and in doing our part. But no one can tell me that Global warming is a fact. Even Gore does not believe it or he would not be driving large SUVs and flying on private jet planes that polute more than any SUV will during a year. Just one flight across the country will cause as much polution as 100s of SUVs will in a year. I AM GLAD THIS BOOK GIVES FACTS NOT FICTION.

this is a good guide to the environment. the cartoons are very well drawn. i do have to agree with the other writer in the fact that it doesn’t deal with any issues today that are killing the earth. it should focus more on the effects of global warming, destruction of our rain forests, killing off of our animals and plants, and the new technologies we have.
other than that, its a good book.

Very soon now I will have Larry Gonick’s entire collection. While some people may look down on cartoons I find they are very useful in helping to form and cement learning. Larry has a fantastic sense of humor as well as a solid understanding in how to communicate science and the social impact of its application.

I recently rented this cartoon book from the school library in hopes of learning more about ecology. The book did an excellent job giving easy-to-understand definitions, and the illustrations really boosted my comprehension. Though the book did not detail global warming and other “big” issues in our society, it was a fantastic teaching tool for the basics. It was a fun read, and it got me thinking about how minor changes can affect the way the world works.
