<p>Hans A. Baer has for years produced critical and original work on the climate crisis, and this book, now in its second edition, may well be his masterpiece—passionately written, filled with facts and critical analysis, and crystal clear in its radical message. You can read it as a manual, a clarion call, an encyclopedia, or a guidebook. It has everything you need to understand why fundamental changes are necessary and how we can make them happen. Indeed, Baer makes it possible to imagine the end of capitalism rather than the end of the world. That is no mean achievement.</p>
