A Blueprint for a Safer Planet
A Question of Balance: Weighing the Options on Global Warming Policies
There are plenty of people who regard global warming as simply a biological issue, yet this book reminds us that climate change is likely to cause serious economic problems as well. Very helpful in helping me with my major studies.
The books that leave me with dark memories
A Tale of Two Cities
Yes yes yes, I know it's a famous novel and I have heard of it for a thousand times. But after reading the first 30 pages of it, I totally lost my interest. Maybe those English writings from the 19th century just can't fascinate me as I drain all my energy in searching across the dictionary for the correct meaning of the words and phrases.
