Heat

The new politics to stop the planet burning

George Monbiot

Climate change is an ever-increasing reality. We all know we need to do something about it. But what? Heat is the first book to tackle the issues head on

In Heat, George Monbiot revolutionizes our approach, bringing energy and political sense to bear on the most pressing issue of our time. Combining his unique knowledge of political and environmental science and campaigning he analyses the possibilities and pitfalls of energy efficiency, nuclear power and renewable resources. He applies his knowledge to our everyday lives, and measures the dramatic energy cuts that can be achieved. Radical, pragmatic and totally surprising, this book shows that there are real political possibilities to save our planet.

George Monbiot is one of Britain's foremost political and environmental thinkers and activists. He has been named by the Evening Standard as one of the twenty-five most influential people in Britain, and by the Independent on Sunday as one of the forty international prophets of the twenty-first Century. In 1995 Nelson Mandela presented him with a United Nations Global 500 Award for outstanding environmental achievement.
