FORECAST The Consequences of Climate Change, from the Amazon to the Arctic, from Darfur to Napa Valley

If you've managed to maintain your composure about climate change and global warming so far, this book may cause you alarm. In sober, reasonable language, the author lays out an argument that climate change is causing political and economic upheaval that is altering the planet. Narrator Mel Foster has a deep, resonant voice that clearly enunciates the book's themes with credibility and intelligence. His straightforward tone may strike some as monotonous, but he uses effective pauses and emphasis to maintain interest. Foster doesn't change his voice for the quotes in the book; rather, he lets the power and imagery of the words speak for themselves. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2009]
