{"product_id":"losing-earth-by-nathaniel-rich-9781529015843","title":"Losing Earth","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1979, we knew all that we know now about the science of climate change - what was happening, why it was happening, and how to stop it. Over the next ten years, we had the very real opportunity to stop it. Obviously, we failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNathaniel Rich's groundbreaking account of that failure - and how tantalisingly close we came to signing binding treaties that would have saved us all before the fossil fuels industry and politicians committed to anti-scientific denialism - is already a journalistic blockbuster, a full issue of the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e that has earned favourable comparisons to Rachel Carson's \u003cem\u003eSilent Spring\u003c\/em\u003e and John Hersey's \u003cem\u003eHiroshima\u003c\/em\u003e. Rich has become an instant, in-demand expert and speaker. A major movie deal is already in place. It is the story, perhaps, that can shift the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the book \u003cem\u003eLosing Earth\u003c\/em\u003e, Rich is able to provide more of the context for what did - and didn't - happen in the 1980s and, more important, is able to carry the story fully into the present day and wrestle with what those past failures mean for us in 2019. It is not just an agonising revelation of historical missed opportunities, but a clear-eyed and eloquent assessment of how we got to now, and what we can and must do before it's truly too late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242937856236,"sku":"9781529015843","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781529015843-losing-earth-1.jpg?v=1787978327","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/losing-earth-by-nathaniel-rich-9781529015843","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
