International Acclaim for Martin Rees's OUR FINAL HOUR
"[Rees's] cautionary tale comes as a useful counterbalance to some of the overly optimistic books recently penned by scientists
. . . Our Final Hour
neither worships nor condemns modern science, but it does offer a clear,concise account of what may be our most urgent concerns in the 21st century."

The Globe and Mail
(Toronto)"Doomsday books have appeared for centuries. But Rees' book isunique, and not only because of his fame as a Cambridge University professor who is not prone to making scary public statements." —
San Francisco Chronicle
"One of the most provocative and unsettling books I have read for many years . . . That a scientist so distinguished as Rees should air thesefierce anxieties is a sign that something is amiss." —J. G. Ballard,
The Daily Mail (London)
"Rees invites us to also consider developments that many of us probably never thought about, including: Could environmental degradationlead to a "war for water"? Could machines-designed plants crowd natural plants out of the ecosystem? These ideas may inspire skepticism, but withinRees' logic, they seem far from impossible. But Rees does not simplyoutline his theories. Throughout, he repeatedly implies something else: Wecan do something to help." __________________Associated Press
