Summary:  "Carbon Play follows Robert Falls’s unique and extraordinary journey in the worlds of academia, politics and corporate “big energy.” With a career that began in marine biology and fisheries management, Robert became a respected environmental professional dealing with national energy and climate policies, frequently meeting with renowned thinkers such as Freeman Dyson, Arthur C. Clarke, David Suzuki, Patrick Moore and Al Gore in a quest to deal with the gaping chasms between climate science, political governance and global energy interests. From his position at the crossroads of science, the energy industry, the environmental movement, government policy, and carbon trading, Robert Falls has written 15 entertaining and enlightening stories that will be enjoyed by those with an interest in the environment who seek fresh perspectives and insights not normally found in books dealing with climate change or environmental issues."--Back cover Holds:  0   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Item type Status Due Date   Central Library Adult Nonfiction 363.7 F194c Adult books Checked in   Add Copy to MyList Central Library Adult Nonfiction 363.7 F194c Adult books Checked out Jul 14, 2024 Add Copy to MyList
