Linden uses in-depth research and expert opinion, rather than scaremongering and exclamation marks, to make his point.... He expertly and succinctly describes the natural cycles that control climate and the many ways they interact. He has a great knack for metaphor. <p> -- David S. Reay, Nature

The Winds of Change is fascinating -- a tour de force. Linden has accumulated a greater comprehension of paleoclimatic and oceanographic issues than all but a very few scientists. I have nothing but admiration for this book, which is just what we need right now. <p>-- George Woodwell, founder of the Woods Hole Research Center
