{"product_id":"losing-earth-export","title":"Heart of Country Australia True Stories of the Land Vol 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn instant classic: The most urgent story of our times, brilliantly reframed, beautifully told\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 1979, we knew all that we know now about the science of climate change--what was happening, why it was happening, and how to stop it. Over the next ten years, we had the very real opportunity to stop it. Obviously, we failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNathaniel Rich's groundbreaking account of that failure--and how tantalizingly close we came to signing binding treaties that would have saved us all before the fossil fuels industry and the Republican Party full committed to anti-scientific denialism--is already a journalistic blockbuster, a full issue of The New York Times Magazine that has earned favorable comparisons to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and John Hersey's Hiroshima. Rich has become an instant, in-demand expert and speaker. A major movie deal is already in place. Publishers around the world are clamoring for the rights. It is the story, perhaps, that can shift the conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the book Losing Earth, Rich is able to provide more of the context for what did--and didn't--happen in the 1980s and, more important, is able to carry the story fully into the present day and wrestle with what those past failures mean for us in 2019. It is not just an agonizing revelation of historical missed opportunities, but a clear-eyed and eloquent assessment of how we got to now, and what we can and must do before it's truly too late.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51481657049405,"sku":"9781529015836","price":12.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3135\/9805\/files\/9781529015836.jpg?v=1773173259","url":"https:\/\/bookclub.org.nz\/products\/losing-earth-export","provider":"Book Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
