Book ID/图书代码： 12313510B42551
English Summary/英文概要： Footprint is an entertaining and easy to understand guide to global warming, energy awareness, and renewable energy. This is how readers describe the book: "Whereas Al Gore, James Hansen and others focus on a political or a scientific solution, Footprint focuses on the role of the individual as an energy consumer. Dozens of energy saving tips, most of which cost little or nothing, demonstrate how Americans can reduce their personal carbon footprint by at least 50% regardless of where and how they live. With charming and captivating illustrations this delightful 260-page journey takes the reader from energy oblivion to energy awareness. The journey ends on a strong note of hope with a glimpse of the renewable energy future that is just around the corner as more and more of us heed the call." (by Richard Taylor, Business Owner, Potomac, MD) "Fans of Hot, Flat and Crowded will find this book much easier to pass on and recommend to friends and colleagues interested in learning more...This book would be an excellent resource in science and math classrooms [because it] keeps the reader engaged." (by Kate Lundin, Environmental Science MBA) "Hooray! Here is a great handbook for those of us who prefer the simple, the practical, and the truth, written...by a person that has been in the trenches for the last 30 years resolutely talking the talk and walking the walk. His message, though not new, is clear: if we want to change the outcome of the looming future, we must change ourselves. If you and I could reduce our footprint as much as John Patterson has reduced his, the future would be a whole lot rosier." (by Gary Munkoff, Editor, Green Living Journal) Footprint is a must read for anyone who wants to understand why top scientists all over the world are so concerned about global warming and climate change.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本書提供了一個有趣易懂的方式，讓大家對全球變暖、能源意識和可再生能源這些概念有了一個更加深入的瞭解。 就像讀者所描述的：當艾爾.戈爾(Al Gore)、 詹姆斯.漢森（James Hansen）還有其他人聚焦於政黨或科學的解決之道時，本書卻把目光放在了每一個人作為能源消耗者的角色上。通過一系列的節能提示表明，每一個美國人，無論他生活在哪裡還是如何生活，都可以降低至少50%的碳足跡。這本總共260頁的插圖本，可以讓增強讀者的能源意識。-理查.泰勒 伯托馬克企業主（Richard Taylor, Business Owner, Potomac, MD）。
“此書便於閱讀，容易理解，所有的讀者都會講它推薦給自己喜歡學習的朋友或同事…同時因為其具有較強的讀者參與性，所以會成為科學和數學課堂上的優秀資源”-凱特.輪丁 環境科學工商管理碩士（Richard Taylor, Business Owner, Potomac, MD）
“他的觀點不是最新的，但是很清晰：如果想要使迫在眉睫的局勢有所改觀，只能靠我們自己。如果我們都能像約翰一樣從日常生活點滴做起，減少自己的那一部分碳足跡，便可以拯救我們的環境”-加里 《綠色生活雜誌》編輯 （Gary Munkoff, Editor, Green Living Journal）
如果你想要明白，為什麼世界各國的頂尖科學家如此關心全球變暖和氣候變化，《碳足跡》絕對是一部不容錯過的作品。(Claire)
