For over twenty years, Naomi Klein has been a leading voice in chronicling the economic war against both people and the planet, advocating for a comprehensive environmental agenda centered on justice. This collection brings together more than a decade of her passionate writing on climate change, alongside new insights into the critical choices we face. Through essays, reports, and lectures, Klein explores the climate crisis as not only a political challenge but also a spiritual and imaginative one. She addresses issues such as the conflict between ecological time and our culture of immediacy, the rise of white supremacy, and the concept of "climate barbarism." This work serves as a powerful call to action for a planet on the edge. Klein reports from diverse locations, including the deteriorating Great Barrier Reef, the smoke-filled skies of the Pacific Northwest, and post-hurricane Puerto Rico, while highlighting the Vatican's push for an 'ecological conversion.' She argues that addressing climate change requires a transformation of the systems that created it. This expansive exploration connects the fight for a sustainable world with the struggle for survival, emphasizing the urgent need for immediate change in the face of the climate crisis.

With strong first-hand reporting and an original, provocative thesis, Naomi Klein returns with this book on how the climate crisis must spur transformational political change

Only one woman can save her world from barbarian invasion but to do so will mean sacrificing everything she holds dear - love, loyalty and maybe life itself . . . Japan, and the year is 1853. Growing up among the samurai of the Satsuma Clan, in Japan's deep south, the fiery, beautiful and headstrong Okatsu has - like all the clan's women - been encouraged to be bold, taught to wield the halberd, and to ride a horse. But when she is just seventeen, four black ships appear. Bristling with cannon and manned by strangers who to the Japanese eyes are barbarians, their appearance threatens Japan's very existence. And turns Okatsu's world upside down. Chosen by her feudal lord, she has been given a very special role to play. Given a new name - Princess Atsu - and a new destiny, she is the only one who can save the realm. Her journey takes her to Edo Castle, a place so secret that it cannot be marked on any map. There, sequestered in the Women's Palace - home to three thousand women, and where only one man may enter: the shogun - she seems doomed to live out her days. But beneath the palace's immaculate facade, there are whispers of murders and ghosts. It is here that Atsu must complete her mission and discover one last secret - the secret of the man whose fate is irrevocably linked to hers: the shogun himself . . .
