Parents for a Future by Rupert Read
A short book proposing a way of thinking about - and taking action against - our dire ecological predicament. The intention is that it should function as a short, sharp and timely response to our present situation, intended for a general, non-specialist audience, something like Paulo Giordano's How Contagion Works, or Paul Krugman's Fuzzy Math.
Rupert Read is a Reader in Philosophy at the University of East Anglia.
