Taxing Air

Bishop Hill in Books

When you think about it, it's rather surprising that nobody has ever put together a good layman's explanation of the weaknesses in global warming science. It's only with Bob Carter and John Spooner's Taxing Air that this gap in the market has been filled.

And they have filled it with considerable style in my humble opinion. This is a hugely readable book, with short accessible summaries of each subject addressed, crisp direct prose and enlivened throughout with Spooner's cartoons. The publishers have splashed out on a colour interior, so the friendly effect is maintained throughout.

With its focus very much on the global warming newbie, the book is unlikely to bring anything new to many BH readers, but those who come here without scientific backgrounds will probably find it useful. And it should form the backbone of everybody's Christmas present lists.

Excellent stuff and congratulations are due to the authors.
