Feeding the world, climate change, biodiversity, antibiotics,
plastics, pandemics - the list of concerns seems endless. But what
is most pressing, and what should we do first? Do we all need to
become vegetarian? How can we fly in a low-carbon world? How can we
take control of technology? And, given the global nature of the
challenges we now face, what on Earth can any of us do, as
individuals? Mike Berners-Lee has crunched the numbers and plotted
a course of action that is full of hope, practical, and enjoyable.
This is the big-picture perspective on the environmental and
economic challenges of our day, laid out in one place, and traced
through to the underlying roots - questions of how we live and
think. This updated edition has new material on protests,
pandemics, wildfires, investments, carbon targets and of course, on
the key question: given all this, what can I do?

reappearances) to be instantly and joyfully lost in this evocative,
moving novel, showing McKay at the very top of her game.' - Imogen

emotional. Full of achingly real characters (and also an excellent
dog) . . . I eked out the final pages, not wanting it to end.' -

writing with such clarity and understanding that you can't fail to
be caught up in the cares of her loveable cast.' - Alex O'Connell,
The Times Book of the Week 'McKay is a glutinously atmospheric
writer, and this dense, action-packed saga - written during
lockdown - is every bit as satisfying as its predecessor.' Emily
Bearn, The Telegraph 'Separately and together, The Skylarks' War
and The Swallows' Flight are pinnacles of children's literature.'
-Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times Book of the Week 'Meticulously
researched, intelligent, warm and witty - this is McKay at her
peerless peak.' Sally Morris, The Daily Mail
