Bring on the Apocalypse: Six Arguments for Global JusticeGeorge Monbiot is a fearless heretic, with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. In these incendiary essays, he tears apart the fictions of religious conservatives, the claims of those who deny global warming and the lies of the governments and newspapers that led us into war. He takes no prisoners, exposing government corruption in devastating detail while clashing with people as diverse as Bob Geldof, Ann Widdecombe and David Bellamy. Alongside Monbiot's investigative journalism, this book also contains his remarkable essays about what it means to be human. Monbiot explores the astonishing politics behind Constable's painting 'The Cornfield', shows how driving cars has changed the way we think and argues that eternal death is a happier prospect than eternal life. |
