""Trust Bill McKibben to find light in the darkness—and oh what a light it is! This is the energizing vision and game-plan so many of us have been waiting for, and of course it comes from one of era’s most imaginative and trusted voices."" -- Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate ""No one has done more to raise the alarm about climate change or to address the problem than Bill McKibben. In Here Comes the Sun, he shows that we all have the technologies we need to move forward. If any book could make a thinking person hopeful about the future, this is it."" -- Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History ""With plainspoken eloquence and immense clarity, McKibben describes the rapid transition to a solar-powered civilization as already begun and gaining momentum fast. This is good news, as it will lead to a healthier and more just future for everyone; and yet there is opposition to this process from easily-identified vested interests. So there are political battles to be fought, and in that ongoing struggle this book will be a crucial aid: it brings the news, it maps the situation, it gives courage. Read it and see."" -- Kim Stanley Robinson, author of The Ministry for the Future ""Bill McKibben has the unique ability to make important books both fun and a pleasure to read. For more than forty years he has campaigned about Nature and our place in it, but Here Comes the Sun may be his most timely and necessary volley yet."" -- Richard A. Cohen, author of Chasing the Sun: The Epic Story of the Star That Gives Us Life
