3。5/5Muy interesante para saber cómo empezó todo， en qué momento estamos y lo que aún se puede hacer para remediar esto。 Me hubiera gustado que fuera más amplio， pero entiendo que para su propósito es mejor así。

A lot of good points in here， but paired with an unhealthy serving of oversimplification - at times to the point of non-recognition。 Add to that a patronizing side of unrestrained and unapologetic ideological activism。 And wash it all down with skimming over the inconvenient and down-right ignoring that which doesn't fit said activism。All of which I could deal with - it's Naomi Klein， I know what I'm getting - except， of course， that the whole book is a call to action （to arms even， albeit not t A lot of good points in here， but paired with an unhealthy serving of oversimplification - at times to the point of non-recognition。 Add to that a patronizing side of unrestrained and unapologetic ideological activism。 And wash it all down with skimming over the inconvenient and down-right ignoring that which doesn't fit said activism。All of which I could deal with - it's Naomi Klein， I know what I'm getting - except， of course， that the whole book is a call to action （to arms even， albeit not the explosive and ballistic kinds） aimed directly at mobilizing children and young people。 This gives me a bad aftertaste， even when I agree with Klein。 。。。more

This is a book for you g readers - I am not that young anymore but I am glad I’ve read this book。 It is packed full with information and explained in a very simple way， so great for people like me who are not very well versed in environmental issues。Besides the explanation on what is really happening regarding climate change， it treats also the subject of climate injustice and inequality， with examples of how greed and discrimination make even more damage than disasters caused by climate change This is a book for you g readers - I am not that young anymore but I am glad I’ve read this book。 It is packed full with information and explained in a very simple way， so great for people like me who are not very well versed in environmental issues。Besides the explanation on what is really happening regarding climate change， it treats also the subject of climate injustice and inequality， with examples of how greed and discrimination make even more damage than disasters caused by climate change。It is very depressing in a way that it shows how little change won’t help， but it tried to be hopeful by showing the work of activists， especially young ones。In the end I couldn’t shake the feeling that all this effort is too little too late， and only a major overhaul in the way we live can stop the current catastrophe of becoming even worse。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Easy to read and well written。 However， it focus too much on the problems and little on solutions， not Exploring all the alternatives。 And the real alternative is to become an activist。 If by activist， the author means each of us doing something， I agree。No discussion about nuclear power， or suggestions of how countries like Indian and African countries will get their energy。 Furthermore， if convuluted climate change， with social injustice and even manage to link to Christchurch terrorist attack Easy to read and well written。 However， it focus too much on the problems and little on solutions， not Exploring all the alternatives。 And the real alternative is to become an activist。 If by activist， the author means each of us doing something， I agree。No discussion about nuclear power， or suggestions of how countries like Indian and African countries will get their energy。 Furthermore， if convuluted climate change， with social injustice and even manage to link to Christchurch terrorist attack。 I am aware this new trend of link all the injustice into one but they are not the same。。。 。。。more

Eigenlijk gericht aan jongeren， daardoor leest het luchtig。 Maar ook voor mij best interessant。 Richt zich vooral op Noord-Amerika

This book was one of the best “how to” books I have read simply because it gave a very compelling “why”。 Not only did it talk about destroying the planet but also how we are destroying people and why it is important to protect them。 This book had very simple language that is fantastic for younger people and anyone beginning their journey into climate change。

I'm convinced some of the most important work being done in publishing right now is in the children's non-fiction market。 Finding non-fic that is accessible to those in the 10-13 bracket is nigh on impossible - you need something more substantial than a DK picture book， but nothing as hard going as adult non-fic can be。 This book is a perfect example of a book that hits that sweet spot。 Klein and Stefoff make for an excellent team， with Klein's ideas and work neatly distilled down into highly re I'm convinced some of the most important work being done in publishing right now is in the children's non-fiction market。 Finding non-fic that is accessible to those in the 10-13 bracket is nigh on impossible - you need something more substantial than a DK picture book， but nothing as hard going as adult non-fic can be。 This book is a perfect example of a book that hits that sweet spot。 Klein and Stefoff make for an excellent team， with Klein's ideas and work neatly distilled down into highly readable text which doesn't condescend to the teenage reader。 It doesn't shy away from being openly anti-capitalist， and doesn't moderate its politics either。 I can't wait to share this with the kids。 。。。more

For some reason， I missed the subtitle of the book but then quickly realised that Naomi Klein is explicitly writing for the young generation。 That in mind， I speed-read through and saw a lot of valuable information on how to become active in the current crises even though with a strong focus （not surprisingly） on North America。 A must-read for the young generation。

A book aimed for （very） young people， but also adults and elders can enjoy and learn from it。 This book is not only about the climate crisis we face， but also the ecologic crisis。 It's not the first time we faced a crisis where we must change our lifestyles so much。 Klein puts as examples USA in the decade of the 30s with the New Deal （from here it comes New Green Deal） and USA-Europe after the World War II。 [There are many， Jared Diamond explains some on "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail A book aimed for （very） young people， but also adults and elders can enjoy and learn from it。 This book is not only about the climate crisis we face， but also the ecologic crisis。 It's not the first time we faced a crisis where we must change our lifestyles so much。 Klein puts as examples USA in the decade of the 30s with the New Deal （from here it comes New Green Deal） and USA-Europe after the World War II。 [There are many， Jared Diamond explains some on "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed" we can learn from]。During the New Deal， the US Government made efforts to save the young generation using tools like promoting voluntarism to help them -gaining skills and getting paid for it-， and also the nature， planting billions of trees。 We must change the attitude towards nature， this is， that it belongs to us， and we can and must master it and do what we please to gain all resources and energies from it。 A perspective that brought us to capitalism， which will lead us to a huge extinction if we don't end it soon。 She encourages the youth to provoke the change for they are our last hope and they will suffer most。 We still have time， but must start now。 （We had to begin yesterday， and the change would have been slighter， but we didn't and the time runs out）。For that， we must change our attitude， our lifestyle， and so reducing drastically our extractivism and consumerism。Einstein said， "Let's not pretend that things change if we always do the same" （or with the same mentality）。 "There is no money" is not an excuse anymore。 If there is will， there is money， or with other words， there is money when/for the powers that be want。 Moreover， with the Pandora Papers we see how many wealthy people hide their money on off-shore to keep their -already such- opulence。 We can and should reduce the working hours to 6h or even 4h daily。 This way， there would be plenty of jobs and the unemployement would reduce。 Moreover， we all would benefit from it， having more time to spend with family and friends， stay more in contact with the nature and even learn something new or volunteer and help other people or the environment we live in。We need to learn more from the indigenous tribes， they care， nurture their habitat。 They are aware without it can't live。 In her book， she explains how important the （mass） movements are and can stop companies or governemnts polluting a land or a river， for instance。 The crisis are opportunities to rethink what is good or works and what is bad or doesn't work。 We need to modify the system not only for making the earth livable， but also for making it fairer， and a better place to live in where its people can live happier and with the necessity covered and not depending on money， or leaving the poorest behind。Will we -our civilizacion- choose to fail or succeed？ 。。。more

In diesem Buch zum Thema Klimawandel geht es vor allem um die Geschichte der Klimaschützer。Wer hat wann zuerst gewusst und gewarnt， was passieren könnte， und wer hat seitdem was unternommen - oder auch nicht？Wer sind die "Bösen"， die sehenden Auges ins Verderben rennen， und wer sind die Helden und Vorbilder， die schon Vieles erreicht und noch viel mehr versucht haben？ Was können Aktivisten tun， was funktioniert und hat sich bereits in der Praxis bewährt？ Und was sind die Möglichkeiten für die Zu In diesem Buch zum Thema Klimawandel geht es vor allem um die Geschichte der Klimaschützer。Wer hat wann zuerst gewusst und gewarnt， was passieren könnte， und wer hat seitdem was unternommen - oder auch nicht？Wer sind die "Bösen"， die sehenden Auges ins Verderben rennen， und wer sind die Helden und Vorbilder， die schon Vieles erreicht und noch viel mehr versucht haben？ Was können Aktivisten tun， was funktioniert und hat sich bereits in der Praxis bewährt？ Und was sind die Möglichkeiten für die Zukunft？Aufschlussreich und gut erklärt， auch für junge Leser/Hörer ohne viel Hintergrundwissen geschrieben。 Manchmal war mir die Zielgruppe etwas unklar， wenn es eben noch darum ging， "was du an deiner Schule tun kannst" und dann wieder darum "wie du Aktien grün anlegst"。Durchaus spannend und fundiert， aber auch relativ stark moralisch und emotional aufgeladen - auch an der Stelle wohl vor allem für ein jüngeres Publikum gedacht。Als Hörbuch für mich gut geeignet， die Stimme der Sprecherin ist angenehm， wenn auch für meinen Geschmack deutlich zu langsam gelesen。 Mit 1。25-facher Geschwindigkeit bin ich gut zurecht gekommen。 。。。more

Absolutamente imprescindible para hablar a los jóvenes sobre el problema del cambio climático。 La perspectiva no es en absoluto derrotista ni inmovilista。 Al contrario， la obra es una incitación al activismo político por la justicia climática。

Love how this book is written very simply making it readable for all ages which I think is particularly important as it makes everyone aware of the situation of climate change。 Naomi really focuses on capitalism in this book and the ignorance of the rich which only affects the poor and people of colour， not to mention all the facts in this book however I would have liked if Naomi have went in more depths in some topics one of which is the wild。

What an empowering book！ This should be a required read in elementary and junior highs。 It explains what climate change is， where it "started，" and how kids are making a difference。 Then it details how kids can enact change。 Even as an adult， I really enjoyed this book and am having my son start reading it today。 What an empowering book！ This should be a required read in elementary and junior highs。 It explains what climate change is， where it "started，" and how kids are making a difference。 Then it details how kids can enact change。 Even as an adult， I really enjoyed this book and am having my son start reading it today。 。。。more

It's aimed at teens， and the language reflects that。 However， the message is still very important and the book serves as a great primer to Naomi Klein's other work， and provides some good suggestions about the change we can make in the world。 It's aimed at teens， and the language reflects that。 However， the message is still very important and the book serves as a great primer to Naomi Klein's other work， and provides some good suggestions about the change we can make in the world。 。。。more

There are no new things in this book， because it is a summary of the latest topics on climate that the author reports in a clear way and for the kids and tries to push them to do something， since adults have already shown that they do not want to do anything， even when we could still do something。As familiar as the topic is to me， I can only appreciate the language used by the author to make it all understandable and， as far as possible， addressable。 Cose nuove in questo libro non ce ne sono， pe There are no new things in this book， because it is a summary of the latest topics on climate that the author reports in a clear way and for the kids and tries to push them to do something， since adults have already shown that they do not want to do anything， even when we could still do something。As familiar as the topic is to me， I can only appreciate the language used by the author to make it all understandable and， as far as possible， addressable。 Cose nuove in questo libro non ce ne sono， perché é un riassunto degli ultimi argomenti sul clima che l'autrice riporta in modo chiaro e per i ragazzi e cerca di spingerli a fare qualcosa， visto che gli adulti hanno giá dimostrato di non voler fare niente， nemmeno quando ancora potevamo fare qualcosa。Per quanto l'argomento mi sia noto， non posso che apprezzare il linguaggio utilizzato dall'autrice per rendere il tutto comprensibile e， per quanto possibile， affrontabile。 I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review。 。。。more
