" Do not read (or listen to the cd set, as I did) if you are depressed!! OMG, nothing good is happening to the earth, and it's all our fault. This is a ten disc set, and truly is well-written, very scientific, appears to be factual, must've taken a ton of research, and I believe it all. However, there were just too many facts and not enough hope for the lay person. We've trashed our planet, which for sure is an important fact, and I wish there was more I could do about it, but seriously, there were not many practical suggestions (if any) for the reader to adopt. Since I listened to the book in my car, it's a good thing I didn't just drive off the side of the mountain in desperation after hearing all this bad news. I'm going to look for a few happy picture books in my bookcase and cheer myself up. "
