Greta Thunberg was born in 2003. In August 2018, she started a school strike for the climate outside the Swedish Parliament that has since spread all over the world. She is an activist in Fridays for Future and has spoken at climate rallies across the globe, as well as at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the U.S. Congress, and the United Nations.
With The Climate Book, a stunning and essential new work, Greta
Thunberg takes her mission to the next level ... [It is] an
incredible and moving resource. There are chapters on almost
everything you might need to know about ... the book is a curated,
portable library of knowledge, full of classics. Everyone will get
something different from reading this book ... It is an
extraordinary body of work and I can't recommend it highly enough.
You feel the passion as well as the intellectual heft of the
authors, and that is what is so moving about it. It is time for all
of us to rise up
*New Scientist*
I would hope it is the kind of book everyone feels they should buy,
read and act on: if you've tried to recycle a coffee pod, bought an
electric car or started using a reusable water bottle, this book
knows the combination of fear, hope and duty that made you do it
and has a million more suggestions. It should be a bookcase staple,
like Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time or Yuval Noah
Harari's Sapiens
*The Times*
Spectacular ... The scope of this work is planetary in scale. It is
a massive undertaking in which Greta Thunberg calls on the best
people possible to help her make sense of the rapid trashing of the
natural world and the ecosystems life depends on ... Ultimately,
this is an unexpectedly uplifting volume, fizzing with the world's
best science and analysis, and what we can now do with it
*Independent*
This book is superb at explaining the urgency and importance of
preventing climate change... its writers weave messages with skill
and beauty... this is a campaigning book of course, but much more
than that
*Guardian*
A compelling read... Thunberg has called upon some of the brightest
minds in the fight against global warming
*Herald*
Important and stunningly handsome... this is a superb vademecum
*Telegraph*
Most of us don't know very much about climate science. More than a
rallying call, what we need is a crash course. So [Thunberg] has
gathered together an anthology of essays from more than a hundred
scientists, journalists and activists-a kind of beginner's guide to
global warming ... [It] looks fantastic, with beautifully rendered
charts and haunting photographs... My copy is dotted with annotated
exclamation marks
*The Times*
As brave as it is accomplished and succeeds well beyond any
reasonable expectation
*Business Post*
An admirable and monumental effort...[Thunberg] is a truly
exceptional figure, fluent way beyond her years in grasping and
communicating the complexity and connectedness of these crises
*Irish Times*
A valuable resource for anyone who wants an ironclad summary of the
problems, combined with some credible remedies
*Observer*
A compendious introduction to climate change's impacts and
solutions by more than 100 writers, activists, and academics.
Together, they break down the sometimes overwhelming complexity of
climate change into manageable chunks
*The Times Books of the Year*
I'll be giving Greta Thunberg's The Climate Book to everyone: for
the way it urges us to refuse to acquiesce in the destruction of
the living world. It offers real, rich hope: but only if that hope
is active
*Observer Books of the Year*
Impressive... the cumulative impact on my understanding of the
[climate] crisis through its data, cross-cultural reflections, and
paths for step-by-step change became mesmerizing
*NPR*
The Climate Book makes for sobering but compelling reading - the
kind of book that, once you've finished, you cannot forget
*Elle*
