- Urgent! : save our ocean to survive climate change / by Watson, Paul,1950-author.;
"A Pandora's box of environmental disasters has been opened, threatening the ability of the natural world to recover and humanity to survive. From devastating fires and storms to the emergence of deadly new viruses, it?s become impossible to deny the terrifying reality of climate change. URGENT! explains the apocalyptic scenario that is our future if we don?t act now. Humans are among the many species facing extinction, and our lifestyles are to blame. Governments, corporations, and the media have been negligent and reckless in their response to the repercussions of climate change. We drain our resources on military budgets, yet ecowarriors are branded ecoterrorists and persecuted. There still is time to mitigate some of the consequences of the climate crisis. Watson provides a roadmap for us to navigate a way out by lowering our carbon footprint, becoming actively involved, and drawing on our passion and courage to find potential solutions."- Subjects: Climatic changes.; Climate change mitigation.; Sustainable living.; Ocean;

- Mr. Mindbomb : eco-hero and Greenpeace co-founder Bob Hunter : a life in stories / by Hunter, Bobbi,editor.; May, Elizabeth,writer of afterword.; Watson, Paul,1950-writer of introduction.;
A collection of personal essays detailing the life and achievements of a renowned environmental hero and activist. Mr. Mindbomb is a chronology of the significant events of Bob Hunter's life, written chapter by chapter by those who knew him. Where one contributor leaves off, the next picks up, moving the reader through another moment in time, sharing some new insight. This is the real life and legacy of Bob Hunter: Canadian eco-hero, author of 14 books, winner of a Governor General's Award, popular journalist, and recipient of a magical salute of gratitude from a pod of whales. Part adventure thriller, part comedy, part documentary, and part provocation for individuals to stand up for the environment, it's a rare look through the lens and perspective of those touched by Bob's influence. By finding kindred spirits in the voices of each of the contributors, many of whom continue the work, it's a powerful reminder that things don't happen in a vacuum. Fifteen years after Bob's much-too-early passing, Mr. Mindbomb is a reminder that any one person, fuelled by commitment and love, can find others who feel the same, and together they can do extraordinarily heroic deeds for the well-being of all.
