Leading political and environmental commentator on where we have gone wrong, and what to do about it
George Monbiot writes a weekly column for The Guardian, and is the author of a number of books, including Heat: How to Stop the Planet Burning, The Age of Consent: A Manifesto for a New World Order, Captive State: The Corporate Takeover of Britain and Feral: Searching for Enchantment on the Frontiers of Rewilding. He is the founder of The Land is Ours, a peaceful campaign for the right of access to the countryside and its resources in the United Kingdom. He was presented with a United Nations Global 500 Award for outstanding environmental achievement by Nelson Mandela.
"A dazzling command of science and relentless faith in people... I
never miss reading him"
*Naomi Klein*
George Monbiot is always original - both in the intelligence of his
opinions and the depth and rigour of his research
*Brian Eno*
The world knows George Monbiot mostly from his powerful and
perceptive journalism. But this is a whole different order of
writing and thinking, a primal account of an unstifled world
*Bill McKibben*
The most powerful treatise yet on the gravity of global warming ...
I defy you to read this book and not feel motivated to change.
*The Times*
His passion for social and ecological justice is undimmed by
twenty-first-century cynicism. His desire for knowledge across the
widest gamut of subjects (scientific, historical, political and
cultural) enables him to reach places which are foreign territory
to many of us.
*Herald (Glasgow)*
What most impresses in Monbiot's clever, elegant writing is the way
he strives to think beyond protest towards realistic,
representative solutions to the problems of world politics and
trade.
*The Times*
A writer of eloquence and passion.
*Observer*
An excellent critique of much that is wrong with modern
society.
*Tablet*
