Global Warming I$ Good for Business
"Global Warming I$ Good for Business" should be on the bookshelf of anyone concerned about the environment and should be the textbook for entrepreneur programs and business schools.
Keilbach's vast amount of research could have resulted in an unbearable tome - dry and boring and tedious - but instead has been woven into a completely readable volume that is not just educational; it's fascinating.
I appreciate that the book presents no political agenda on the issue of "global warming," but rather, deals positively with the indisputable fact of climate change. Bright, industrious people with good ideas and initiative can really make a difference!
Best of all, "Global Warming I$ Good for Business" shows that individuals and companies can create positive change for the planet and make a buck at the same time.
Global Warming is good for business
This book is a great resourse for professions and individuals. The chapters are short and entertaining as well as educational. There is a glossary of "GREEN" terms in the back that is linked to internet sites. The author did extensive research and interviews. It is easy to understand. This book gives a great overview of emerging clean technologies and it shows how we can "SAVE" the planet without a lot of rules and regulations. Excellent seem to inadequate a word to describe this book.
Reading this Book I$ Good for You
I don't read a lot of non-fiction, but this book caught my eye. It is not a preachy, gloom and doom tale of a bleak future. Instead, it is a refreshing approach to improving the environment and the economy at the same time.
This is a great resource for anyone who is interested in learning about what the "green" business movement is really all about and how emerging technologies can be a real boon for our economy. I especially liked the glossary of terms in the back of the book, with links to sites on the Internet.
I look forward to other titles by K. B. Keilbach.
Recommendation for Kimberly's book.
Loved this book!! It shows how we can "save" the planet by the use of emerging clean technologies. It was educational, entertaining and easy to understand.
