‘A truly excellent book. Grayling invites us all into a vital discussion of our planet’s future.’ -- Sir David King, former Chief Scientific Adviser ‘A must read for anyone with questions, worries and fears about pollution, poverty, protectionism, populism, weapons proliferation, and where our world is headed.’ -- Gordon Brown, former UK prime minister ‘Grayling writes with admirable clarity and great conviction. He is clearly one of the good guys, appalled by the universality of infamy: climate nationalism, religious bigotry, gender inequality.’ -- Iain Macwhirter, <i>Herald</i> (Glasgow) ‘An enthusiastic thinker who embraces humour, common sense and lucidity.’ -- <i>Independent</i> ‘Grayling is particularly good at illuminating the knottiness of moral discourse.’ -- <i>Sunday Times</i> ‘A truly excellent book. Grayling invites us all into a vital discussion of our planet’s future. The chapter on climate change, particularly, is an outstanding summary of the challenges we face.’ -- Sir David King, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government
