  'Consummate and thorough' – The Times 
  'Darkly entertaining' – The Spectator 
  A superbly written work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent, The Anti-Catastrophe League is a brilliant study of the people and their teams who are trying to save the world. 
  Our species has a unique genius for self-imperilment. The ancient dangers – asteroids, super-volcanoes and worse – still stalk us, but the most pressing time-bombs are of our own making. Our knack for self-imperilment, though, is one side of a coin: for we are also developing a knack for ambitious solutions. 
  The Anti-Catastrophe League, informed by the author’s experience of working in the field of what is known as existential risk, tells the story of a species that is working out how to defuse several bombs at once. From ancient risks to very modern apocalypses, the book charts the imminent dangers to the human race, and introduces readers to the groups of scientists, eccentrics, diplomats and visionaries who are trying to prevent doom. 
  The Anti-Catastrophe League is a fascinating story of the end of the world – and what we can do about it. 
  Grounded in non-fiction science, the book moves through biology, nature and social studies to explain why natural disasters and cascading disaster scenarios threaten life—and how the sciences can help. It’s a forward-looking account of the future, focused on relief, preparedness and the hard work of stopping disasters before they begin. 
  For fans of Steven Pinker (Enlightenment Now), Michael Pollan (This Is Your Mind On Plants), and Derek Thompson (Hit Makers).

  The Place of Tides

  A National Bestseller 
  “A modern classic, one we very much need right now.” –George Saunders 
  From the acclaimed author of The Shepherd’s Life, a magical work of nonfiction in which James Rebanks reflects on a life-changing summer spent on a remote island off the coast of Norway, where his only companion was an old woman who practiced the ancient tradition of collecting eiderdown from birds that nest on this remarkable landscape each year 
  We are all in need of lights to follow. 
  One afternoon many years ago, James Rebanks met an old woman on a remote Norwegian island. She lived and worked alone on a tiny rocky outcrop, caring for wild Eider ducks and gathering their down. Hers was a centuries-old trade that had once made men and women rich but had long been in decline. Still, somehow, she seemed to be hanging on. 
  Back at home, Rebanks couldn’t stop thinking about the woman on the rocks. She was fierce and otherworldly—and yet strangely familiar. Years passed. Then, one day, he wrote her a letter, asking if he could return. Bring work clothes, she replied, and good boots, and come quickly: her health was failing. And so he travelled to the edge of the Arctic to witness her last season on the island. 
  This is the story of that season. It is the story of a unique and ancient landscape, and of the woman who brought it back to life. It traces the pattern of her work from the rough, isolated toil of bitter winter to the elation of the endless summer light, when the birds leave behind their precious down for gathering, like feathered gold. 
  Slowly, Rebanks begins to understand that this woman and her world are not what he had previously thought. What began as a journey of escape becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness.

  Climate Hope - Stories of Action...

  David Geselbracht

  Climate change is a problem so enormous and complex—with threats so frightening in their implications—that many of us fend off confusion and hopelessness by simply turning away. Meanwhile, with delayed action, missed targets, and increasingly dire reports at the international level, a notion that the crisis is intractable continues to spread. And the proposed solutions can be just as daunting. They often involve jargon about gigatons of carbon and kilowatt-hours of electricity. In a deeply polarized political environment, any sense of the common purpose required to make these work seems to dissolve into denial or paralysis. With all this fear and conflict, the question must be asked: How do we find the tools and the hope we need to tackle such a wickedly difficult issue? 
   
   
   
  In Climate Hope, journalist David Geselbracht blends in-depth research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting in multiple countries, revealing remarkable efforts to identify the causes and impacts of climate change—and devise crucial ways to address them. The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.
