Book Summary and Reviews of Windfall by McKenzie Funk

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. A well-written, useful global profile emphasizing concrete solutions rather than ideological abstractions." - Kirkus

"Funk's original, forthright take on this little-discussed profit-taking trend in the climate change sweepstakes is very unsettling." - Publishers Weekly

"Funk's take on global-warming profiteering is as entertaining as it is disturbing." - The New Yorker, Best Books of the Year

"Smart, daring, and darkly funny, Windfall offers a new take on perhaps the world's most intractable problem. McKenzie Funk is a gifted storyteller." - Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe
