George Monbiot as ever brings a large dose of sanity to many of the burning issues of our day. Well researched and authoritative, his wisdom and clarity on many subjects begs the question as to why those responsible for steering the people of the world towards a better, more caring and connected and sustainable future are so often getting it all so wrong. The problems usually arise because of policies based on vested interests, short termism and lack of care for, and understanding of, the implications of actions. Thank God there are people like George Monbiot who can cut through the rubbish and spin and get to the truth. The long term future of the world will depend on the spread of their ideas and philosophies and their adoption by decision makers so this book is essential reading for anyone who cares about our planet and all life on it.Read full review

As other reviewers have noted, this is a series of essays on various environmental / social topics, rather than a book with a grand conclusion at the end, but it’s none the worse for that. Gets you thinking. A highly recommended book.

Series of short published topics some now bit old but it's interesting in that we have moved on or not from the date of production.
