![]() The book is written mainly chronologically, which allows her to build up her argument clearly, taking you first through where the idea of man as master of nature came from, and giving information on some key philosophers from the time, all the way through to how, through a combination of tough radical policy and commitment, we, as a society, can come through the other side. Although the subject material is serious, Klein manages to take you through it so gently that by the time you realise the depth of information she has taken you through, you’ll wonder how you never thought of it yourself! In essence, Klein explains how in order to make any dent in combating climate change, there needs to be a shift in mentality from our current “extractivist” mind-set, which has so far lead us to the tipping point of global temperature rise, to a more reciprocal and circular relationship, not only with the planet, but with each other. Not only does it explore the very real issues posed by climate change that many authors and commentators shy away from, it also takes you through real life responses that countries, leaders and individuals can take which require policy, the economy and our own personal values altogether. ![]() This Changes Everything by Naomi Klein was one of the books that persuaded me it could. ![]() When considering studying PPE, something that was really important to me was finding out why the three subjects were banded together and what (if any!) use they could be together to anyone outside of classrooms and lecture theatres. ![]()
