'In my experience the world of environmental activism has no greater champion... This is a fabulous book because you won't agree with everything he says; he'll provoke you, seduce you, anger you but I promise he won't bore you. It's like pumping a mountain stream through your head.' Sir Tim Smit'This book could not come at a more appropriate moment, just when the world needs to think and decide whether we sink, dragging down with us all that we hold dear, or swim bravely, and sometimes uncomfortably, into a sustainable future. Matchless man: hugely important book.' Joanna Lumley'A great champion of environmental activism and his extensive travels have given him many insights.' Sir Ranulph Fiennes
