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.
_______________ The story of WWII starring the brilliant pilots
you've never heard of... the women of the Air Transport Auxiliary
(ATA) who battled against the odds to get the air force's planes to
the front lines. This coming-of-age tale is perfect for fans of
Emma Carroll, Michael Morpurgo and Hilary McKay. _______________
October, 1942. When twelve-year-old Billie is out exploring with
her pet chicken, she sees a plane crash into a field and is left
wondering if the pilot even survived. Determined to find out more,
Billie finds a way into the ATA - a group of amazing pilots who
defy the odds to get planes from the factories to the front lines -
and her life changes for ever. Some of the pilots are men who are
too old, or too injured for the air force. But many more are women.
Intrepid, inspiring women who show Billie what she might grow up to
become. With missions including ferrying turkeys over from Ireland
and flying unfamiliar, broken planes, Billie is desperate to help.
But piloting fighter planes could turn out to be more than she
bargained for...
