Media Reviews
"[A] reasonable, predictable, and loosely developed argument...."
-- Kirkus
" [McKibben] employs intimate confession...and parenting advice-two popular genres-to sell an environmental message of restraint that Americans, despite his best efforts in the past, have failed to take to heart."
-- New York Times Book Review
"An absorbing, important environmental book, likely to stimulate long overdue discussion for its frank grappling with one of our most intimate taboos."
-- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
"'Maybe One' is one of those rare books that encourages the reader to think and gives us the tools with which to do so....For all its sobering issues, it is a delight to read." -- Karen Stabiner
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review
