About this title

Review:

'One of those who has been warning me of [a coming crisis] for a long time is Paul Gilding, the Australian environmental business expert. He has a name for this moment--when both Mother Nature and Father Greed have hit the wall at once--"The Great Disruption."' (Thomas Friedman in the New York Times)

'Gilding says that our current economic model is driving the system over a cliff. We are already living beyond the planet's capacity to support us and a crisis is no longer avoidable' (The Times)

'If you're planning to stick around for the 21st century, this might be a useful book to consult' (Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth and The End of Nature)

'[An] important work ... This is a book which deserves to be read by people of all ages from many walks of life' (Canberra Times)

Book Description:

A major new analysis and action plan to deal with two linked challenges to human ingenuity and human survival - the crisis of climate change and the world economic crash.
