The subhead says it all: "Australia's top cartoonists draw the line on the environment". This is a very funny book of cartoons on environmental issues by 30 different artists.

The range of cartoonists makes for a range of topics, methods of treatment and punch lines. There's no danger of monotony setting in as you turn from Judy Horacek's fish in a condom; to Patrick Cook's Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Famine, War, Pestilence and Cholesterol; to Jim Cane's "Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell"; to Cathy Wilcox's wordless happy swimmer dressed in flippers and a toilet seat.

The book appears just in time for Christmas. Proceeds of sales to the Australian Conservation Foundation, so you can do suffering nature a good turn as well as the person who finds it in their stocking.
