Book description
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.
Mayer Hillman is Senior Fellow Emeritus of the Policy Studies
Institute. 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. Lord Young of Dartington has
described his work as 'outstanding' and 'formidable'. To mark his 70th
birthday the Policy Studies Institute published a book of essays about
him called Ahead of Time. 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.'
