Rezensionen

"It's hard to imagine a better prescription for this fraught moment than: pay attention. The writers in this volume do just that, and thus help lay the groundwork for the only thing we need more than attention--action!" - Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
