The Edge by Jonathan Maxwell
We are at the edge, not the end, of history. 'The Edge' is a contemporary look at how the world has been transformed by recent events, focusing on climate change, the war in Ukraine, the next resource flashpoints, and the challenges the world faces around energy, security, the environment and the economy.
The statistics in Maxwell's book are stunningEnergy, like food and water, is in increasingly short supply. But for all of these, we waste most of what we are fighting over. -- Edward Lucas, The Times
The Edge is the only book you need to make sense of the global energy crisis. -- Reader's Digest
A very important contribution. One of the huge comparative advantages of this book is the seriousness and knowledge about energy and efficiency. It explains how critical resource efficiency, relating to energy, but also to other scarce resources such as food, water, minerals, and time will be to managing the enormous geopolitical, economic, and environmental challenges in front of all of us today. -- Lord Stern, Chair of the Grantham Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics
The Edge is an eloquent roller coaster ride through the unfolding of the modern climate crisis, well informed, up to date and well articulated, a project that keeps one eye on global energy and resource use growth, and one on energy and resource wastage ... an important and urgent book ... -- Dr Andrew Lee, University of Oxford Climate Alumni Network
For years we have been told that the most valuable unit of energy is the unit we don't use. But turning that observation into real flows of finance has proven elusive. Jonathan has a clear vision for how to change that - and more than just a vision, he's got the receipts: he's done it, at scale on five continents. -- Michael Liebreich, Founder of Bloomberg NEF and Host of Cleaning Up
Superb -- The Sunday Times.
