Will be one of the most influential books of our time
*Owen Jones*
Klein is a brave and passionate writer who always deserves to be
heard, and this is a powerful and urgent book
*Observer*
Without a doubt one of the most important books of the decade
*Amitav Ghosh*
Savages the idea that we will be saved by new technologies or by an
incremental shift away from fossil fuels... Her solution requires a
radical reconfiguration of our economic system
*New York Times*
Her task is to take a potential catastrophe of unimaginable reach
and to be calm and welcoming, drawing new people in. She does vast
amounts of travel and research and thinking, then crafts all of it
to the scale of her own voice: the voice of a pleasant, funny,
unthreatening-looking woman
*Guardian*
I have devoured Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything, the book the
world has been waiting for. I urge everyone to read it (especially
politicians). It is her most prescient book yet and is a
much-needed call to arms as time runs out on climate change
*Observer, Books of the Year*
It's no exaggeration to say This Changes Everything is the most
important book I've read all year - perhaps in a decade. Klein sets
out the scientific case for urgent action on climate change and
argues passionately that our only hope of combating its effects is
a revolution in our entire economic system. Crucially, she manages
to leave the reader with a degree of optimism
*Observer, Books of the Year*
[T]he problems - climate change, plus everything that is changing
as a result, plus the increasing toxicity of the planet - can no
longer be denied. This is a conversation that needs to happen on a
large scale, and on a local scale, and on a personal scale, very
soon
*Guardian, Books of the Year*
Captured the collective sense of anger and awakening ... [a]
frightening look at climate change and capitalism
*Observer, Books of the Year*
Naomi Klein applies her fine, fierce, and meticulous mind to the
greatest, most urgent questions of our times. . . I count her among
the most inspirational political thinkers in the world today
*Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things and Capitalism: A
Ghost Story*
A book of such ambition and consequence it is almost unreviewable
... The most momentous and contentious environmental book since
Silent Spring
*New York Times Book Review*
Savages the idea that we will be saved by new technologies or by an
incremental shift away from fossil fuels... Her solution requires a
radical reconfiguration of our economic system
*New York Times*
The book has an uplifting message: that humans have changed before,
and can change again. It poses a gutsy challenge to those who are
vaguely hoping that the whole issue will go away, or that some new
technology will save us
*Sunday Times*
This may be the first truly honest book ever written about climate
change
*Time*
Her task is to take a potential catastrophe of unimaginable reach
and to be calm and welcoming, drawing new people in. She does vast
amounts of travel and research and thinking, then crafts all of it
to the scale of her own voice: the voice of a pleasant, funny,
unthreatening-looking woman
*Guardian*
The proposition that the world's political and economic
institutions are preventing us from meeting the lethal challenge of
global warming is hardly novel. But Naomi Klein in her new book
articulates the case as forcefully and comprehensively as anyone
has yet managed
*Independent*
Powerfully and uncompromisingly written, the impassioned polemic we
have come to expect from Klein, mixing first-hand accounts of
events around the world and withering political analysis . . . Her
stirring vision is nothing less than a political, economic, social,
cultural and moral make-over of the human world
*New Scientist*
Klein is one of the left's most influential figures and a prominent
climate champion. . . . [She] is a gifted writer and there is
little doubt about the problem she identifies
*Financial Times*
Gripping and dramatic . . . [Klein] writes of a decisive battle for
the fate of the earth in which we either take back control of the
planet from the capitalists who are destroying it or watch it all
burn
*Rolling Stone*
An energetic exploration of issues surrounding climate change
vociferously advocates immediate, radical reforms... The
distinctiveness of the book resides... in its immersive reporting
(on "Blockadia" eco-movements and futuristic geoengineering
proposals) and in Klein's sheer outspokenness
*New Yorker*
Klein has, with this book, thoroughly and completely debunked
everything promoted under the banner of conservatism today - and
she has done so with a work that's more powerful than a stack of
C4.
This Changes Everything deserves to be viewed not as one of the
greatest nonfiction works of the 2010s, but as one of the greatest
nonfiction works of all-time. ... This book will expand and
intensify the worldwide climate-justice movement, which is why the
rhetorical attacks on Klein will become ever more aggressive. It
will politically galvanize the young and the vulnerable, who have
so much to lose due to the climate crisis. It will create climate
leaders across this warming globe. This Changes Everything:
Capitalism vs. the Climate is not just a book, not just a moment,
not just a movement. It is a weapon of justice. It is a path of
survival
*Washington Monthly*
[Her] words and knowledge run deep, inspiring change and the need
for immediate action
*Charlize Theron*
Today @NaomiAKlein's new book #ThisChangesEverything is out now -
I'm reading it - it's great
*Russell Brand*
Naomi Klein is a genius. She has done for politics what Jared
Diamond did for the study of human history. She skillfully blends
politics, economics and history and distills out simple and
powerful truths with universal applicability
*Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.*
The manifesto that the climate movement - and the planet - needs
right now... For those with whom her message does resonate - and
they are likely to be legion - her book could help catalyze the
kind of mass movement she argues the world needs now
*San Francisco Gate*
Has the potential to be the definitive account of our current
moment... Klein's great gifts have always been synthesizing huge
amounts of information and drawing connections between seemingly
disparate issues; on those points, This Changes Everything is no
different
*Globe and Mail*
Meticulously researched and briskly rational in tone, [it] is one
of the basic texts of the modern era... an essential purchase in
that it tells you precisely what you need to know to discuss the
climate dilemma intelligently... This Changes Everything is basic
reading and no one will take you seriously until you've read every
single page
*Toronto Star*
An intellectual hero of many in the alter-globalization protests as
well as the Occupy movement. . . . Klein is ready for battle and is
not afraid to own her politics
*Los Angeles Review of Books*
This is the best book about climate change in a very long time-in
large part because it's about much more. It sets the most important
crisis in human history in the context of our other ongoing
traumas, reminding us just how much the powers-that-be depend on
the power of coal, gas and oil. And that in turn should give us
hope, because it means the fight for a just world is the same as
the fight for a livable one
*Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and co-founder of
350.org*
