Book Description | In a new edition of his hard-hitting book on climate change, economist Dieter Helm looks at how and why we have failed to tackle the issue of global warming and argues for a new, pragmatic rethinking of energy policy. "An optimistically levelheaded book about actually dealing with global warming."-Kirkus Reviews, starred review "[Dieter Helm] has turned his agile mind to one of the great problems of our age: why the world's efforts to curb the carbon dioxide emissions behind global warming have gone so wrong, and how it can do better."-Pilita Clark, Financial Times |
Editorial Review | Julie Kavanagh distills the fabulous spirit of Nureyev, the ballet world's first pop icon. --Vanity Fair "Ferociously concrete, ambitious, profligate, shocking and soaring. . . . Nureyev is easily the best biography of the year." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "The definitive biography of ballet's greatest star whose ego was as supersized as his talent." --Tina Brown "A treasure trove for those intrigued by Nureyev the dancer, filled with thoughtful reflections on his technique, details of his roles, and of his encounters with ballet greats." --Seattle Times "Kavanagh chronicles [Nureyev] with even-mindedness and original research and a mastery of detail. . . . And that is what we get: not a tell-all, but a tell-everything." --The New York Observer |
