The Rough Guide to Climate Change, by Robert Henson (2006)

Bob Henson, who is both a meteorologist and an editor by training and works at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, takes a balanced approach to explaining all aspects of climate change in language laypeople can understand. In May 2007, his book was shortlisted for the prestigious (UK) Royal Society science book prize.

Cape Wind: Money, Celebrity, Class, Politics, and the Battle for Our Energy Future on Nantucket Sound, by Wendy Williams and Robert Whitcomb (2007) Wind energy off the liberal coast of Massachusetts might be expected to be slam-dunk by some. But the 50-50 prospects for construction of 130 wind turbines off the southern coast of Cape Cod has created a controversy uniting such

strange bedfellows as Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, Mass) and presidential candidate Mitt Romney (R, former Mass governor).

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J. K. Rowling (2007)
