Why read it?

This is a collection of short essays written by the climate-change intelligentsia. The styles are different because each essay has a different author but you can dip in and out as you wish. It’s one of those books that, having read it, makes you feel vaguely embarrassed about the clueless person you were before you read it!

Subtitled An Extinction Rebellion Handbook, this is a fascinating and informative read on how communities can come together to take action. Extinction Rebellion may have sparked controversy, but it is undeniable that their tactics have brought them to the forefront of news channels, ultimately bringing climate change into conversations more than ever before. 

From Emily's list on adaptation to climate change.
