About the Author:
Dr. Peter Read is a Cambridge and LSE-educated engineer and economist who now specialises in energy economics at Massey University, New Zealand.
Review:
'This imaginative and challenging book points towards a key strategy in global efforts to limit global warming - one which links energy and forestry, North and South. It should be read closely by anyone concerned with how the world can start to address the challenge of climate change.' Michael Grubb, author of The Greenhouse Effect: Negotiating Targets 'Although Peter Read may be overly optimistic with respect to the potential for biomass fuels, his book is stimulating, provocative and witty.' Alan S. Manne, co-author of Buying Greenhouse Insurance: The Economic Costs of CO2 Emission Limits 'A skilled attempt at fashioning policy and a deep foundation for thinking on the subject. Reading it is an enduring investment in policy issues that are going to be with us for a long time to come.' Thomas C Schelling, Harvard University
