This is Derek Brockway's confession: he is obsessed with the weather, & has been for most of his life. He is not unlike thousands of the television viewers who watch his daily forecasts without fail, of course, but his passion goes much further than curiosity about tomorrow's sun & rain. He loves meteorology itself; he loves to watch the skies, to read the cloud patterns & record the temperature. Anyone who has seen him present a weather report will know that Derek is in his element with the charts & weather symbols, especially when extreme weather is on the way. ...

In the 20th century humanity consumed products faster than ever, but this way of living is no longer sustainable. This new & important book shows how technological advances are driving forms of 'collaborative consumption' which will change forever the ways in which we interact both with businesses & with each other. The average lawn mower is used for four hours a year. The average power drill is used for only twenty minutes in its entire lifespan. The average car is unused for 22 hours a day, & even when it is being used there are normally three empty seats. Surely there must be a way to get the benefit out of things like mowers, drills & even cars, without having to carry the huge up-front costs of ownership? There is indeed. Collaborative consumption is not just a buzzword, it is a new win-win way of life. This insightful & thought-provoking new book by Rachel Botsman & Roo Rogers is an important & fast-moving survey of the dramatic changes we are seeing in the way we consume products. Many of us are familiar with freecycle, e Bay, couchsurfing & Zipcar. But these are just the beginning of a new phenomenon. Rachel Botsman & Roo Rogers have interviewed business leaders & opinion formers around the world to draw together the many strands of Collaborative Consumption into a coherent & challenging argument to show that the way we did business & consumerism in the 20th century is not the way we will do it in the 21st century. ...
