Mayer Hillman, one of Britain's most original and influential thinkers, here offers the reader both a stunning analysis of the looming environmental catastrophe and a blueprint for avoiding it. The blueprint is practical at a personal level but the challenge he throws out is to governments and business: do they have the political courage to take the necessary steps to avert the end of the world? He anticipates the counter-arguments and gives the reader the ammunition to challenge the prevailing inaction in these areas.
Stimulating, challenging, frightening but also practical, this is a book that will help you make a difference.

He is the author of numerous reports and books and has made significant contributions to policy debates on a huge range of issues from transport to daylight saving.

He lives in West Hampstead, London.
Advance quote from Wayne Hemingway (co-founder of Red or Dead):
'A welcome non-alarmist, well explained approach to a subject that should cause individuals, institutions and governments to be alarmed.'
