"Elemental - How Five Elements Changed Earth's Past And Will Shape Our Future"
Just finished reading "Elemental - How Five Elements Changed Earth's Past And Will Shape Our Future" by Stephen Porder, published by Princeton Press.
"Elemental" starts out as a really great science book, but sadly it starts faltering not even halfway through the book when Porder decides to shift the focus on how elements shift and impact life and the surrounding environment to a lecture on how he did his part to lessen his environmental carbon footprint - okay, notable but half a book to pat your self on the back on how noble you are for weather proofing and upgrading your house? Ummmm, dude, hardcover copies of your book have probably done more to undo all that "reduction" of your carbon footprint then you've done in trying to save the planet. For someone who claims in print that he sees the big picture, he's astonishingly blind.
