"[The World in 2050] is a lively and impressive book, among the
first in what promises to be an important publishing category, the
explication of how the human landscape will be altered by
artificially triggered climate change."
-"Wall Street Journal"
"Smith's planetary palm-reading would be impressive enough, but he
also managed to pull it off with literary gusto. He combines a
wide-angle-lens analysis reminiscent of Jared Diamond with a knack
for narrative, including tales of numerous visits to the
Arctic."
-"New Scientist"
"Cleverly executed."
-"Mother Jones"
"One of the most head-turning books I've ever come across
recently."
-Thomas PM Barnett, "World Politics Review"
"A charismatic rising star vividly relates the big challenges
facing the world."
-Jared Diamond, author of the Pulitzer Prize winner "Guns, Germs,
and Steel" and "Collapse"
"This is a blockbuster of clear argument, sophisticated use of
multiple empirical sources, and cogent writing that makes a
convincing case for the emergence of the deep Global North as the
main beneficiary of emerging climatic and economic trends.
Intelligently discussing the future requires exactly the balance of
discerning empirical analysis and wise interpretive judgment to be
found here."
-John Agnew, Professor of Geography UC, Los Angeles
