摘要

It is rare that a scientist with the credentials of the author, Burton Richter, 1976 Nobel Laureate in Physics, attempts to communicate to society in a way that makes such an intimidating and con-tentious topic as climate change and the complexity of the associated energy issues that must be tackled seem easy to understand. This is a brilliant book written in a very informal way yet packed with easily understood information. Richter's judgment is superb in assessing the role that the various possible solutions may play in averting a global warming catastrophe. His long expe-rience as an energy advisor to US governments shows clearly in this discussion. He manages to communicate calmly but objectively the urgency of tackling the issues under discussion. Richter divides those who are currently talking about this contentious topic into three groups: the deniers, the greens and the ultra-greens that he calls the exaggerators and makes it clear that he considers himself as a green. The book uses primarily American data and examples but Canadian readers will not find this a problem. Technical Notes in some chap-ters provide supplementary information on various topics for readers with a scientific background.
