This book represents a cooperative enterprise between two authors of different backgrounds - engineering and international relations - and is directed to an educated but non-professional lay audience without any formal training in either science or international relations. The points of view of negotiators from both developed and developing nations are presented and compared. Each topic is presented from both technical and policy perspectives as a means to evaluate the variety of proposals that have been offered as remedies to global warming.
The text is supported by illustrations and tables where appropriate, including a list of References at the end of each chapter.

"However, I would recommend this book to all persons involved with policy matters pertaining to anthropogenic climate change. (Geology Today, 1 May 2013)
“...Provides a good list of priorities for the next two decades and beyond, including both measures that countries can pursue unilaterally – from energy efficiency to cap-and-trade legislation – and measures that require international cooperation, such as information sharing about carbon capture and storage, and a global agreement on emissions-reduction targets, monitoring and enforcement.” The Environmentalist, January 2011
