On Fire - Naomi Klein - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

On Fire - Naomi Klein - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Naomi Klein''s work has always moved and guided me. She is the great chronicler of our age of climate emergency, an inspirer of generations'' - Greta Thunberg For more than twenty years Naomi Klein''s books have defined our era, chronicling the exploitation of people and the planet and demanding justice. On Fire gathers for the first time more than a decade of her impassioned writing from the frontline of climate breakdown, and pairs it with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of what we choose to do next. Here is Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of ''perpetual now,'' to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of ''climate barbarism,'' this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink. With dispatches from the ghostly Great Barrier Reef, the smoke-choked skies of the Pacific Northwest, post-hurricane Puerto Rico and a Vatican attempting an unprecedented ''ecological conversion,'' Klein makes the case that we will rise to the existential challenge of climate change only if we are willing to transform the systems that produced this crisis.This is the fight for our lives. On Fire captures the burning urgency of the climate crisis, as well as the energy of a rising political movement demanding change now.

No Is Not Enough - Naomi Klein - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

** The New York Times and Sunday Times Bestseller**''An ordinary person''s guide to hope. Read this book'' Arundhati Roy''As accessible as it is brilliant'' Owen Jones''A genuine page turner'' Michelle Alexander Naomi Klein - award-winning journalist, bestselling author of No Logo , The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything , scourge of brand bullies and corporate liars - gives us the toolkit we need to survive our surreal, shocking age. ''This is a look at how we arrived at this surreal political moment, how to keep it from getting a lot worse, and how, if we keep our heads, we can flip the script.'' Remember when love was supposed to Trump hate? Remember when the oil companies and bankers seemed to be running scared? What the hell happened? And what can we do about it? Naomi Klein shows us how we got here, and how we can make things better. No Is Not Enough reveals, among other things, that the disorientation we''re feeling is deliberate. That around the world, shock political tactics are being used to generate crisis after crisis, designed to force through policies that will destroy people, the environment, the economy and our security. That extremism isn''t a freak event - it''s a toxic cocktail of our times. From how to trash the Trump megabrand to the art of reclaiming the populist argument, Naomi Klein shows all of us how we can break the spell and win the world we need. Don''t let them get away with it.''Who better than Naomi to make sense of this madness, and help us find a way out? A top-of-the-stack must read'' Michael Stipe''Naomi Klein''s new book incites us brilliantly to interweave our No with a programmatic Yes. A manual for emancipation'' Yanis Varoufakis''Magnificent ... a courageous coruscating counterspell'' Junot Díaz

This Changes Everything - Naomi Klein - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This Changes Everything - Naomi Klein - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Naomi Klein, author of the #1 international bestsellers, The Shock Doctrine and No Logo , returns with This Changes Everything, a must-read on how the climate crisis needs to spur transformational political change Forget everything you think you know about global warming. It''s not about carbon - it''s about capitalism. The good news is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed economic system and build something radically better.In her most provocative book yet, Naomi Klein, author of the global bestsellers The Shock Doctrine and No Logo , tackles the most profound threat humanity has ever faced: the war our economic model is waging against life on earth.Klein exposes the myths that are clouding the climate debate.You have been told the market will save us, when in fact the addiction to profit and growth is digging us in deeper every day. You have been told it''s impossible to get off fossil fuels when in fact we know exactly how to do it - it just requires breaking every rule in the "free-market" playbook: reining in corporate power, rebuilding local economies and reclaiming our democracies.You have also been told that humanity is too greedy and selfish to rise to this challenge. In fact, all around the world, the fight back for the next economy is already succeeding in ways both surprising and inspiring.Climate change, Klein argues, is a civilizational wake-up call, a powerful message delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms, and droughts. Confronting it is no longer about changing the light bulbs. It''s about changing the world - before the world changes so drastically that no one is safe.Either we leap - or we sink.Once a decade, Naomi Klein writes a book that redefines its era. No Logo did so for globalization. The Shock Doctrine changed the way we think about austerity. This Changes Everything is about to upend the debate about the stormy era already upon us.

The Shock Doctrine - Naomi Klein - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Impassioned, hugely informative, wonderfully controversial, and scary as hell'' John le Carré Around the world in Britain, the United States, Asia and the Middle East, there are people with power who are cashing in on chaos; exploiting bloodshed and catastrophe to brutally remake our world in their image. They are the shock doctors.Exposing these global profiteers, Naomi Klein discovered information and connections that shocked even her about how comprehensively the shock doctors'' beliefs now dominate our world - and how this domination has been achieved. Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq - this is the chilling tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed. ''Packed with thinking dynamite ... a book to be read everywhere'' John Berger ''If you only read one non-fiction book this year, make it this one'' Metro Books of the Year ''There are a few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrine is one of those books'' John Gray, Guardian ''A brilliant book written with a perfectly distilled anger, channelled through hard fact.

Time: A User's Guide - Stefan Klein - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Why are there morning people and night people? How come time flies when you’re having fun and three minutes can sometimes seem an eternity? Would time exist if we didn’t measure it – and why is there never enough of it? Our modern lives are ruled by minutes and hours. We race from one thing to the next, all of us believing on some level that a mysterious cosmic force called ‘time’ is ticking on. And it’s always in short supply. But is the time we live really like that? Could there in fact be another, alternative version, entwined with the official one? Here Stefan Klein explores the hidden dimensions of time, looking at everything from when the present becomes the past to the tribe that see the future backwards, from when sex is best to why the years seem to speed by as we age. And he reveals how we can learn to live in harmony with the secret clock within us, altering our perceptions to transform our lives. To be enjoyed in the morning or the evening (depending on your body clock), this book will make you think the next time you check your watch – and maybe even slow down a little.

The combination of practical detail and creative thinking is immensely impressive'' P. D. Smith, Guardian We know that climate change is happening. We know that it could, if the worst predictions come true, destroy the conditions which make human life possible. Only one question is now worth asking: can it be stopped? In Heat , George Monbiot shows that it can.In every case, he supports his proposals with a rigorous investigation into what works, what doesn''t, how much it costs and what the problems might be. He wages war on bad ideas as energetically as he promotes good ones. He is not afraid to attack anyone - friend or foe - whose claims are false or whose figures have been fudged. Heat also contains a breath-taking new exposure of the corporations trying to stop us from taking action.
