Thank you for your interest in A Book List To Change The World.  It is our hope that you read many - if not all! - of the books that we recommend on this site. And more importantly, we hope that you spread the word far and wide. By the way, our selection process was based on a Venn Diagram approach, whereby we exhaustively researched climate change book recommendations, college course syllabi, and book reviews to come up with the most frequently recommended titles.  It is our belief that reading contributes to enlightenment...and we need enlightenment and basic climate change education on a global scale right now. The more we understand the very real dangers of climate change, the faster we can move to make the massive changes this world needs to save itself from the climate chaos that has already begun.  For your convenience, we have offered A Book List To Change The World as a printable brochure, which is featured on the Spread The Word page.
