Reviews

 

"You can make a difference and this clearly set-out book is an excellent guide." - West Australian.

 

"Rather than simply presenting cold facts, Ha's commentary is interesting and at times humourous.", "...superb advice..." and "...highly recommended..." - Sun Herald.

 

"We learnt so much from this book and especially enjoyed the whacky humour and bizarre examples from the insane world of environmental science." - Alastair, Freya and Imogen, the green teens who wrote the book's foreword.

 

"While Ha does a great job of explaining the facts, the designers should be congratualted for creating such a user-friendly book (graphs, break-outs, check-lists, projects) that makes absorbing Ha's engaging writing style even easier... Invaluable reading for those aged 10 and up." - The Sunday Age.

 

"...a goldmine for teachers and kids alike." - G magazine (print version of review). For full online review, click here.
