A nice review from blogger Mark Stevens on April 21:
“This is a deft book, neatly organized. It sneaks up on you by starting with personal viewpoints and personal essays and then backing up the lens for a bigger, more macro view. …(it) snowballs.
“How the West Was Warmed” takes the issue of climate change and breaks it into manageable morsels—some 39 essays in all plus a foreword (Denver mayor), introduction (the author) and afterword (Colorado governor). The result is a book that takes a major topic and breaks it down into a series of interesting and challenging essays that create a troubling, worrisome whole.
…While the title of this book is clever, it’s much more than a regional analysis. The book might use the Rocky Mountain west as a jumping off point, but these essays deserve national and international attention.”

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.”

Nice blog post on HTWWW (and other related books) at the Rocky Mountain Land Library site.

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.
