Carbon Detox: Your step-by-step guide to getting real about climate change

I liked this book from moment I read the name of its first chapter: "Oh no, not another bloody polar bear". The approach that author George Marshall has chosen to take is not to lecture, blind with science or scaremonger; it's aimed at tackling the very real problems of disbelief, boredom and apathy that overcome many people when they hear the phrase 'climate change'.

In Carbon Detox, which is available to by from 30th October, you'll find this attitude prevails throughout the book. Whilst others offer endless tips on making small changes and patting yourself on the back for your efforts, this one admits that making minor changes, like recycling plastic bags, can sometimes be an excuse for doing nothing. It encourages you to look at your personality, work out what changes you are best equipped to make, and apply these on a daily basis.
