A good exploration of current effects of human pollution, but jumps around a bit too much and much of the future forecasting seems thinly grounded. The latter chapters seemed even more stream-of-thought random.

This won't change anyones mind, nor will it inspire action, but as a primer or a refresher of what's at stake it will be worth the quick read.

This book sets a lot of records for me, among them "Highest frequency of acronyms ever" and "Most occurrences of the phrase "speaking truth to power" by someone in power. "

Clappers memoirs are interesting and gives a tiny bit of insight into the (apparently rather sheltered) life of a US intelligence professional (not unlike Comey's effort in that regard.) Still, you can't shake the feeling that it's only showing the surface, and that there's a lot of polishing and retrofitting going on.

Well worth the read, but needs to be taken with the obligatory pinch of salt.

Decent overview of the role for someone coming in from outside the security community. Somewhat UK-specific, and just a little bit dated, but I don't think there's anything similar that does it better.
