A wonderful review in the Boulder Daily Camera on January 24, 2010: “How the West Was Warmed…offers readers hope and humor, insights and inspiration. …this jam-packed volume is.. one of the most engrossing takes on climate change.”

Great review in the “Deep Winter” edition of  Mountain Gazette
“A book like this one takes on a few jobs: To get you to sit up and listen, to give you hope and to call you to action, all while not boring the crap out of you. “How the West Was Warmed” does it all, including essays about climate change from more than 40 journalists, scientists, business people and policy makers.”

Denver Magazine recommended HTWWW as a holiday gift pick!

Colorado Public Radio’s Ryan Warner interviewed editor Beth Conover and author Diane Carman out HTWWW for Colorado Matters.

HTWWW is featured by Stanford University’s Lane Center for the American West and the Society of Environmental Journalists, of which several contributing authors are  members.

Melting glaciers. Pine beetle infestation. Drought. Carbon footprints. Green jobs and promises of a new energy economy…

When the venerable Aspen Skiing Company starts talking about the “death of snow,” even the most determined deniers start to wonder, what is going on? In this entertaining and enlightening collection of essays, noted environmentalist and Greenprint Denver founder Beth Conover develops a portrait of the wide range of responses to climate change in the Rocky Mountain West. For over two decades, this region has been a leader in addressing climate change, and today it is a hub of solutions to this pressing global issue.

Written by over forty veteran journalists, scientists, business people, and policy makers, these essays show us how climate change has and continues to affect the ways in which we live, work, and play. An alternative to the many dry scientific books and how-to greening manuals about global warming, How The West Was Warmed provides insights, hope, and a little dose of humor to inspire all Americans in facing our future.
