Synopsis
In twenty short books, Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement. In this personal and wide-ranging exploration of how our collective imaginations fail to grasp the scale of environmental destruction, Amitav Ghosh summons writers and novelists to confront the most urgent story of our times. Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.
My Review
This was a very interesting read. I enjoyed breaking up my novel reading with short books like this one. I loved that it incorporated increasing problems in climate change and natural disasters and encouraging authors to write more about them in fiction books.it was brilliant and shocking reading about the authors experience with a tornado in India. It really opened my eyes to what's going on in the world, and I believe this is the authors point. Plus, you also end up with a great list of books to read. These books are great for short insights into very important topics. Perfect for those who don't like heavy non-fiction books.
Many thanks to the author and publishers for bringing us this interesting read. You can always depend on penguin books to print very thought-provoking and interesting books.
