"A hugely informative and readable book about how much China is
doing - and needs to do - to spur the clean energy revolution that
is a crucial element in the fight against climate change. I highly
recommend it."
—Todd Stern, Former Special Envoy for Climate Change under
President Obama "Finamore has written an impressively
well-researched and truly fascinating account of China's fitful
odyssey to climate consciousness. In an otherwise pretty bleak
global tableau, this progress offers some welcome grounds for
hope."
—Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director, Center on US-China
Relations, Asia Society "A must-read."
—Make Wealth History "Barbara Finamore has written a highly
readable and informative overview of China's role in the global
climate change battle. Will China Save the Planet? is a good primer
for environmental policy analysts and anyone else interested in
studying feasible solutions to climate change, humanity's greatest
threat."
—Eurasia Review "If you want to read one book on China's energy and
environmental transformation, Finamore's lucid volume is the
one."
—Asian Review of Books "Authoritative and comprehensive."
—The South China Morning Post "Finamore is the right person to
write such a concise and informative book. . . . She takes a
balanced approach—being an outsider but drawing on her firsthand
knowledge and experience of an insider, thus making the narrative
and analysis concrete and convincing."
—China Review International "For all its importance, it is quite
hard to follow environmental developments in China. One the most
useful resources I've come across is Barbara Finamore's book Will
China Save the Planet?"
—The Earthbound Report
