classic would always recommend that one one that had a profound effect on me was Michael Mann's The New Climate War that really kind of struck a number of chords with me so all of those I think are worth it but if I had to do one it would be the my old perennial favorite of How Bad Are Bananas by Mike Berners-Lee
