The most urgent story of our times, beautifully told: how we had the chance to stop climate change, and failed. In Losing Earth, Rich wrestles with what those past failures mean for us in the twenty-first century. It is not just an agonizing revelation of historical missed opportunities, but a clear-eyed and eloquent assessment of how we got to now, and what we can and must do before it's truly too late. An eloquent science history, and an urgent eleventh-hour call.
