Mark Maslin 'Global Warming, A Very Short Introduction'

This is a very interesting little book. The author, although clearly a 'believer' in global warming presents a strongly reasoned, well written and surprisingly un-dramatic account. The main ideas and supporting evidence behind global warming are clearly and concisely covered, and counter arguments and possible consequence are examined. The author avoids some of the more over dramatic statements that have been presented and also looks at the possible costs of trying to avoid global warming. All in all, this book struck me as an interesting and well-rounded account of an important and controversial issue. Well worth reading
