Story
For centuries we’ve been sold a lie: that you need to own the land to care for it. Just 1% of the population own half of England, and this tiny landowning elite like to present themselves as the rightful custodians of the countryside. They’re even paid billions of pounds of public money to be good stewards. But what happens when they just don’t care?

Zu lange haben wir Menschen eine dem Wesen unserer Existenz widersprechende Zivilisation und Infrastruktur aufgebaut, warnt der weltweit führende Ökonom und Vordenker Jeremy Rifkin. Denn jetzt rebelliert die Hydrosphäre unseres Planeten und ist dabei, unsere Spezies und unsere Mitgeschöpfe im Zuge des Klimawandels in ein Massensterben zu stürzen, während sie nach einem neuen Gleichgewicht sucht. Rifkin fordert uns auf, unseren Platz im Universum ganz neu zu definieren.

Story
I primi ad accorgersi che qualcosa è cambiato sono i commessi dei negozi: quel giorno stanno clamorosamente mancando gli obiettivi di vendita. Poche ore dopo i responsabili di zona mandano resoconti preoccupati ai loro capi. Il giorno successivo gli addetti ai magazzini dei maggiori siti di shopping online vedono i loro ritmi frenetici rallentare. Nel giro di pochi giorni il colore del cielo cambia con il calare delle emissioni di anidride carbonica. Il mondo ha smesso di comprare: non è l’inizio di un romanzo distopico; è l’unica cosa che può salvare noi e la Terra.

Story
What would happen if we were to awaken one day and suddenly realize that the world we live in appeared eerily alien, as if we'd been teleported to some other distant world? That frightening prospect is now. Our planetary hydrosphere, which animates all of life on Earth, is rebelling in the wake of a global warming climate, spurring biblical spring floods, devastating summer droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires and powerful autumn hurricanes and typhoons, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and society.

Only those who love trees should cut them, writes forester Ethan Tapper. In How to Love a Forest, he asks what it means to live in a time in which ecosystems are in retreat and extinctions rattle the bones of the earth. How do we respond to the harmful legacies of the past? How do we use our species’ incredible power to heal rather than to harm? Tapper walks us through the fragile and resilient community that is a forest.

In Residual Governance, Gabrielle Hecht dives into the wastes of gold and uranium mining in South Africa to explore how communities, experts, and artists fight for infrastructural and environmental justice. Hecht outlines how mining in South Africa is a prime example of what she theorizes as residual governance—the governance of waste and discard, governance that is purposefully inefficient, and governance that treats people and places as waste and wastelands.

Rodale, his son Robert Rodale, and their company, the Rodale Press.

Story
Climate catastrophe-inspired narratives like “Electrify Everything!” have a grip on people’s minds. The simplicity of the solution to the most complex endeavor ever faced by humans—the journey to a net zero future—is seductive, but it is fundamentally flawed. In Path to Zero: 12 Climate Conversations That Changed the World, author Tucker Perkins takes listeners on a series of future-casting journeys from the Year 2050 back to the present day to show us how a better way—a wide path to net zero carbon emissions—was, and can be, achieved in an accelerated time frame.
