flawed, layered characters are my favourite thing about fiction. also, I adored the writing style of this book - cynical humour at its absolute best.

How To Save Our Planet: The Facts by Mark A. Maslin

informative inspiring fast-paced

4.0

Exactly what it says on the tin: FACTS. The thing I struggle with the most when thinking about tackling climate change is the sense of hopelessness that comes with such a vast and complex issue - but having the knowledge this book shares makes it feel so much more accessible. Anyone and everyone should read this book. “Knowledge is power” has never been more true.
