'Truly essential' MARGARET ATWOOD Feeling anxious, powerless or
confused about the future of our planet? This book will transform
how you see our biggest environmental problems - and how we can
solve them We are bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us the
soil won't be able to support crops, fish will vanish from our
oceans, that we should reconsider having children. But in this
bold, radically hopeful book, data scientist Hannah Ritchie argues
that if we zoom out, a very different picture emerges. The data
shows we've made so much progress on these problems, and so fast,
that we could be on track to achieve true sustainability for the
first time in history. Packed with the latest research, practical
guidance and enlightening graphics, this book will make you rethink
almost everything you've been told about the environment, from the
virtues of eating locally and living in the countryside, to the
evils of overpopulation, plastic straws and palm oil. It will give
you the tools to understand what works, what doesn't and what we
urgently need to focus on so we can leave a sustainable planet for
future generations. These problems are big. But they are solvable.
We are not doomed. We can build a better future for everyone. Let's
turn that opportunity into reality. 'Not the End of the World is an
inspiring data-mine which gives us not only real guidance, but the
most necessary ingredient of all: hope . . . practical and truly
essential' Margaret Atwood, TED2023
