Absolutely beautiful, absolutely necessary, and absolutely right! Two of our greatest climate voices have rounded up many more realistic and determined colleagues who help us see the path ahead much more clearly! -Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet and founder of Third Act A powerful anthology of dispatches from the front lines of the struggle over the future of the planet, by some of the most important activist voices of our time. That such a collection could be assembled is itself a cause for hope. -Amitav Ghosh, author of The Nutmeg's Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis Not Too Late is the exact message we need today. Rebecca Solnit and Thelma Young Lutunatabua have gathered voices from around the world, each living proof that one can understand grim climate science, understand the scale of political obstacles and still know that a better future is not out of reach. It's late, but not too late. Grab this book, read up and let's get to work. -Annie Leonard, executive director of Greenpeace USA Giving up on humanity by giving up on solving the climate crisis is not an option.

It also gives us the imaginative and emotional prowess to strengthen our courage and creativity along the way. -Don Cheadle, award winning actor, climate activist, and Board member of The Solutions Project
