Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World by Bill Nye

4.0

In general, I quite liked this book. And I certainly learned a lot from it! A few minor criticisms: I felt like Nye tried to pack too much in. While he did a good job of going into reasonable "intro" detail on each topic, it could be a bit overwhelming. Additionally, the humour he employed is better suited to his TV appearances; it felt a bit forced in the book and I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the jokes, especially the frequent puns, which he seemed to feel the need to point out. But the book got me thinking and has given me some ideas of things I can do now to start reducing my own environmental footprint. I liked how it was broken down into manageable sections, giving the reader an idea of something to start with and then maybe they could come back to the book later to discover the next thing they could be involved in. I would highly recommend this book to people who were fans of the "Bill Nye the Science Guy" show as kids and are now looking for the "next level of Nye," if you will.
