"Stormy Weather: 101 Solutions to Global Climate Change", by Guy Dauncey
with Patrick Mazza, was the overall winner in the Ecology/Environment
category. Their book is described as "a must read for anyone who wants a
cleaner, healthier planet" by James Hansen, Director of NASA's Goddard
Institute for Space Studies, one of the world's leading climate scientists.
It provides a concise and comprehensive overview of global warming, and
describes 101 detailed solutions that can be put into practice by
individuals, schools, colleges, churches, cities,  businesses, power
utilities, corporations, governments, and global treaty makers.

Bob Hunter, co-founder of Greenpeace, called it "the most important
ecological book of our generation" in Toronto's EYE Magazine; the Green
Business Letter called it "one of the clearest, most concise guides yet on
coping with climate change."

When asked about his response to winning the award, Guy Dauncey said "My
hope is that the public  - from churchgoers to farmers, from governments to
corporate leaders - will read the book, and realize that while global
warming is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, there are many
solutions which will benefit everyone; they are not something we need be
afraid of."

The business magazine Green@Work wrote "It is a rare combination of science
and activism that makes this book so appealing. An immensely accessible book
that will inspire understanding as well as action."

"Stormy Weather" is Guy Dauncey's fifth title; his last was a collection of
eco-utopian short stories set in the years 2005 - 2015, called "Earthfuture:
Stories from a Sustainable World". He lives in Victoria, B.C., with his wife
Carolyn Herriot, who runs The Garden Path Organic Plant Nursery. He is a
writer, lecturer, and sustainable community planning consultant; editor of
EcoNews, and a Fellow of the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland.
