To make matters worse, many people are turning away from scientific fact in favour of their own beliefs and biases. Yet there is reason for hope. Heroes among us are fighting for a better world—and many of them are Black, Indigenous, and Other People of Colour (BIPOC). Acclaimed author and photographer Dudley Edmondson has interviewed 25 Black and Brown scientists, environmental justice activists, and social justice activists to inspire change on a global scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople the Planet Needs Now\u003c\/i\u003e is a compilation of personal stories and perspectives from across the United States (and one from the Philippines), as scientists and activists talk about the work they do and their life experiences. The 25 viewpoints are shared conversationally, as if the reader is having a one-on-one dialogue with each storyteller. You'll learn deeply personal details about their childhood, physical- and mental-health struggles, and racist encounters—which influence everything, from science and what is considered knowledge to where one might live in a particular city and even one's quality of healthcare and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComplete with Dudley's full-colour photography, the book offers a rare opportunity to see and hear from BIPOC scientists and activists about problems with \"traditional\" science and the current methods of addressing everything from climate change to city design. Black and Brown people are often most directly affected by these problems, so their unique insights offer the possibility for new solutions. These interviews spark conversations about innovative ways to address social, environmental, and related issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"It is an honour and privilege to share this collection of personal stories from Black and Brown storytellers with global origins and perspectives,\" says Dudley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and Brown people around the globe have an interdependent relationship with nature, and their perspectives can help us push for positive change. \u003ci\u003ePeople the Planet Needs Now\u003c\/i\u003e strives to inspire current and future difference-makers to create a better world together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46998552543468,"sku":"9781647552770","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16346243482774.jpg?v=1763220499"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/dudley-edmondson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
