Abstract
I keenly awaited my copy of George Monbiot’s latest book in the post and was very eager to sink my teeth into what promised to be 274 pages of realistic solutions to utopian ideas for solving the unremitting global problems of environmental degradation and human suffering.
Monbiot is an excellent journalist and top-notch researcher: his regular weekly columns in The Guardian are not only well-argued opinion pieces, they are factual commentaries on a wide-range of issues from world trade rules to corporate misfeasance to weapons of mass destruction, always with keen attention to detail and almost archival references to the historical context of the subject matter.
Monbiot is also of that breed of tireless journalist-campaigners whose prose is the personal of the political, for whom writing is not merely a meal ticket or summaries of lived experiences, but a force for social and political change and an apparent catharsis in the personal quest for global reform.
