Gallant is one of the premier science writers of our time, and he has done a superb job [with Earth's Changing Climate]. As usual, he demonstrates a real mastery of nearly every possible aspect of the subject on which he has chosen to write. There is scarcely an aspect of climatology on which he does not appear to be knowledgeable. There are some small errors of fact …, but these are minor distractions from an otherwise admirable text. The reading level is fairly high, and the book is probably accessible only to junior high students of better-than-average reading abilities or to senior high students. I especially recommend the book to libraries….
