ISBN10: 1742372104, ISBN13: 9781742372105, [publisher: Allen & Unwin 2010 Paperback] Softcover Sometimes facing up to the truth is just too hard. There have been any number of urgent scientific reports in recent years emphasising just how dire the future looks and how little time we have left to act. But around the world only a few have truly faced up to the facts about global warming. This book is about why we have ignored those warnings, so that now it is too late. It is a book about the frailties of the human species: our strange obsessions, our hubris, and our penchant for avoiding the facts. It is the story of a battle within us between the forces that should have caused us to protect the earth - our capacity to reason and our connection to nature - and those that, in the end, have won out - our greed, materialism and alienation from nature. And it is about the 21st century consequences of these failures, and what we can do now. Because we do' t have to take this lying down. 302 pages
