Book description
In this new edition of her bestseller, Jessica Williams tests the
temperature of our world and diagnoses a malaise with some shocking
symptoms. Get the facts but also the human side of the story on the
world?s hunger, poverty, material and emotional deprivation; its human
rights abuses and unimaginable wealth; the unstoppable rise of
consumerism, mental illness, the drugs trade, corruption, gun culture,
the abuse of our environment and more. The prognosis might look
bleak, yet there is hope, Williams argues, and it's down to us to act
now to change things.
Jessica Williams is a journalist and former television producer
for the BBC, where she has researched and produced interviews with
such diverse figures as the political philosopher Noam Chomsky,
President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Sir David Attenborough, Northern
Ireland First Minister David Trimble, and the late American academic
Edward Said.
