Climate Change
Sixteen books that map the full shape of the climate crisis — its science, politics, psychology, and possible futures. From the visceral warnings of Wallace-Wells and Kolbert to the systemic analyses of Klein, Mann, and Chomsky; from solutions-focused works like Drawdown and Net Zero to explorations of why we find it so hard to act at all (Don't Even Think About It). The list also reaches into deep time — Diamond on civilisational collapse, Lynas on degree-by-degree consequences, Roberts on the ocean's long history — and into the voices often missing from the conversation, with the women-led essays of All We Can Save. Taken together, these books make the case that understanding climate change means understanding economics, ecology, power, and the limits of human psychology.

An "epoch-defining book" (The Guardian) and "this generation's Silent Spring" (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is...
Who can forget the sense of wonder with which they discovered as a child the creatures of the deep? In this vibrant hymn to the sea, one of the world's foremost conservation biologists, known as the "Rachel Carson of the fish world" (The New York Times), takes us back in time to tell the story of man and the sea, from the earliest traces of water on earth to the oceans as we know them today. If...
