Review by Jon Sharp
The ultimate “handbook of everything” related to humanity’s impact on the world we live in and what we might do about it. Extremely well-researched and full of facts it lays out the full breadth of the challenges we face, how we got here and possible solutions to the issues. Covering areas such as food, energy generation, transport, the economics of growth, population, business and work it also looks at softer issues that will be needed, like thinking skills, values, truth and trust. You may find the scale of the problem daunting, but the author maintains a positive outlook and is full of ideas, from the international to the personal, on how we can address it.
