Ultimately, Time's Up  is a book about survival and about ensuring that every individual human has the means to save herself or himself from the global crisis that is unfolding. People know that the climate is changing, species are being removed from the Earth at a rapidly increasing rate, and entire ecosystems are becoming shadows of their former richness; they know, but they do not understand. The global environmental crisis is closing in on humanity from all directions, yet the crisis barely registers on this culture's list of problems. As we stand, humanity is doomed to a collapse that will leave only a few nomads, and a toxic, barely survivable Earth in its wake. So why is nothing being done beyond changing light bulbs, recycling and buying organic food? It's certainly not for a lack of good reasons. Humans have no motivation stronger than survival, yet the culture that dominates the culture we call Industrial Civilization has created a set of priorities that value financial wealth, the possession of superfluous goods and short, cheap thrills, above that most basic need. In short, we are prepared to die in order to live a life that is killing us. Time's Up  is all about changing this. It describes what our actions are doing to the very things on Earth that we depend on for survival, at scales that we rarely contemplate. It arms us with the tools to free us from the culture that has blinded us for centuries, and which will allow us to live lives that will give the Earth, and ourselves, a future. This call-to-action proposes something radical, fundamental, frightening, longterm, exhilarating, and absolutely necessary something totally uncivilized.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595062911249,"sku":"GOR005866021","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49656103502097,"sku":"GOR001366642","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735348224273,"sku":"NGR9781900322485","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/190032248X.jpg?v=1751379961"},{"product_id":"underminers-book-keith-farnish-9780865717541","title":"Underminers","description":"To undermine something is to weaken its very foundation in order to bring about its eventual collapse.  Underminers is a radical guide to dismantling the industrial machine. The first section of the book deconstructs the Tools of Disconnection--the subtle and seemingly innocuous methods by which we are manipulated into artificial separation from other people and the natural world. These can take many forms, from tangible and intangible rewards for \"good\" consumer behavior to indoctrination through advertising, media, and compulsory schooling. Once these Tools of Disconnection have been identified, the challenge is to expose their true nature and to provide realistic alternatives to our culture of greed.  Outlining a wide array of unconventional responses, Underminers is a practical, rational, and very human response to the ecological and social catastrophes facing us. By turns shocking, entertaining, inspiring, and empowering, this manual for a subversive revolution shows how ordinary people can become tomorrow's catalysts for change--reconnected to one another and co-creators of a viable future for humanity.  We are the Underminers, and this is our time. Keith Farnish is a longtime environmental activist and the author of Time's Up! An Uncivilized Solution to a Global Crisis. He has been blogging and writing on environmental and social issues since 2006.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50365639131409,"sku":"CIN0865717540G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50856612200721,"sku":"GOR006511736","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0865717540.jpg?v=1751140129"},{"product_id":"underminers-book-keith-farnish-9781291175622","title":"Underminers","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51022684651793,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51022685405457,"sku":"NIN9781291175622","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52081905565969,"sku":"CIN1291175628VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1291175628.jpg?v=1751082354"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-keith-farnish.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
