About the Book

There is a climate crisis, extinctions are accelerating, forests are disappearing, water cycles are collapsing and pollution is choking our skies and seas.

It is easy to be defeatist about the fate of our planet.

And yet, despite it all, it's not too late: things can change for the better.

Fred Pearce has been reporting from the frontline of climate change and environmental recovery for over four decades and what he has seen has give him reason - in fact, seven reasons - for (cautious) hope. Here, we learn how nature is finding ways to thrive in unexpected places, how the population bomb has been defused, how our consumerist societies are finally approaching 'peak stuff', and how a combination of ancient wisdom and modern technology can help us correct our course.



About the Author :
FRED PEARCE is an award-winning journalist and author, who has reported from eighty-seven countries. He is the environment consultant of New Scientist magazine, a regular broadcaster, and a contributor to the Guardian, the Washington Post, and other publications. He has written fourteen books on environmental and development issues, which have been translated into twenty-six languages.

Review :
Fred is one of the few people that understand the world as it really is A natural storyteller who makes you feel intelligent Thankfully, the solutions for Earth's huge, slow climate problem don't have to play out immediately or all at once. Fred Pearce excels in reporting on the many solutions that are already in play and far along toward solving their particular parts of the big problem. We can model the rest of what needs to be done on their encouraging success Fred Pearce has worked around the world as an environmental journalist for several decades. His latest book distils the clear reasons for retaining our optimism about a resolution of the climate crisis, using enlightening stories from across the planet... A clear, persuasive and an uplifting read A sustained case for cautious optimism that feels earned rather than wishful
