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.

Life on Earth is shaped by water, and only survives here because of it, but our ocean ecosystems are at the epicentre of global warming. This enormous blue wilderness contains somewhere between half and three quarters of all life on Earth, including the biggest and most numerous creatures to ever live. But more than 90 per cent of Earth's warming since 1950 occurred in oceans, despite their vast capacity to absorb heat and CO2. Framed by the need to protect our fragile oceans, Water World is natural-history illustrator Ben Rothery's rich exploration of the creatures from the coastal and offshore waters of the world - from penguins, seagulls, polar bears and seahorses, to plankton, sharks and deep-sea beings. Discover the longest migration and the loudest animal on Earth, and learn how our own actions affect the ocean, its inhabitants and our whole planet.
