Crisis, global, environment: the words are familiar enough to dull the sense of urgency they should instil. Red Sky at Morning (Yale University Press, 拢9.99) by James Speth, dean of Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, is the perfect antidote to apathy. He turns up the heat on the US body politic in a book about its greatest failure in modern times: its refusal to sign the Kyoto agreement. Speth offers a rational way out, and writes well.
