A rousing and radical investigation into the climate crisis, its
causes, and how to fight for the most vulnerable people affected by
it, This Book Will Save the Planet is a vibrantly illustrated study
of one of humanity's most significant threats. With this third
title in the NYT #1 best-selling Empower the Future series, you'll
gain a deeper understanding of climate change and climate justice.
Our planet is in crisis. The ice caps are melting, sea levels are
rising, wildfires are raging... and those most affected by global
warming are marginalised communities across the globe. But all is
not lost - there's still time for each and every one of us to make
a difference. Through the lens of intersectionality, author Dany
Sigwalt lays out the framework for how we can come together to
fight climate change, and how we can work to put people over
profit. The planet is not protected if all its inhabitants are not;
the people are not protected if the planet they inhabit is not. In
this book, you will: Discover the core principles of climate
justice Learn how solidarity, community and mutual aid can change
the world Find out how to use your privilege to stand-up for other
people At the end of each chapter, there are activities and calls
to action to get you thinking and to grow your knowledge. All you
need is a pen and a piece of paper. With kaleidoscopic and vibrant
illustrations by artist Aurelia Durand, this book is written for
everyone who lives on planet Earth. By the end, you'll have the
tools you need to go out and make a difference. The Empower the
Future series is a collection of vital and urgent books about how
we can all build a better world. Other titles in the list include
This Book is Feminist and This Book is Anti-Racist.
Following on from the incredible Invented by Animals and Built by
Animals, Powered by Plants introduces us to the wondrous plants
whose ingenious features have inspired innovations in human
technology. Plants exhibit an incredible range of diversity in
their shape, structures and how they interact with other living
things and their environment. Some of this great diversity is being
increasingly studied and copied, inspiring innovation in science,
design, engineering and technology. This book guides readers
through a startling collection of fascinating vegetation, from
towering cottonwood trees with wind power potential to slippery,
meat-eating assassins of the plant world and the fast-growing
aquatic plant which helps propel ships farther using less energy.
Learn surprising applications and spin-offs of both exotic species
including the world's largest flower that generates its own heat
and more familiar plants such as bamboo, coconut and maize, all
depicted in colourful, engaging fashion. Colourful and lively
illustrations and pop-out fact boxes bring the science in this book
to life, and Powered by Plants shows us how much we can learn from
studyin the myriad magnificence of the natural world. Other
fascinating books in this series are Built by Animals and Invented
by Animals.
