A book by the youngest head of the Sierra Club should have something going for it, and it does have a little, but not as much as I'd hoped. The author has a style that doesn't draw in the reader, and seems to be flouting his own intelligence while simultaneously ignoring the reader's. I suppose it doesn't help that the writer has written at least one article, and maybe more, in which he suggests that the Baby Boomers are the single cause of all disaster (a simplistic and inaccurate assessment) and has, in fact, suggested that they should lay down and die. This book doesn't go quite that far, but he does make it evident that few people other than himself have much to offer. ( )
