Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Inspiring [.] A powerful call to action for all who believe we can create a more democratic and ecological society' - Debbie Bookchin, journalist, author, daughter of Murray BookchinHow can we unlock society's potential to shift the course of the climate crisis So many of us feel helpless in the face of corporate-fuelled environmental destruction.
