Reviews

[Josef Komensky · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wat is El Nino ?
Hebben wij bomen nodig?
Waarom komt er een aardbeving?
Wat moet men doen met afval ?

Deze en legio van andere vragen wat betreft verbanden tussen verschillende soorten natuurrampen en menselijke voetafdruk op onze aarde..

Het boek is wel wat gedateerd maar toch boordevol informaties en tips voor iedere kleine ecoloog.

An examination of climate change.

There were some interesting points in this book, but I thought it lacked depth.

Reading time around one hour.
