About Rebecca Solnit:
AN INDEPENDENT WRITER SINCE 1988.
Writer, historian and activist Rebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books on feminism, western and urban history, popular power, social change and insurrection, wandering and walking, hope and catastrophe. Her books include "Orwell’s Roses; Recollections of My Nonexistence"; "Hope in the Dark"; "Men Explain Things to Me"; "A Paradise Built in Hell": "The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster" and "A Field Guide to Getting Lost". A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school, she writes regularly for The Guardian, serves on the board of the climate group Oil Change International and recently launched the climate project Not Too Late (nottoolateclimate.com).
About Not Too Late:
"Not Too Late" is the book for anyone who is despondent, anxious, or unsure about climate change and seeking answers. As the contributors to this volume make clear, the future will be decided by whether we act in the present—and we must act to counter institutional inertia, fossil fuel interests and political obduracy.
In concise, illuminating essays and interviews, "Not Too Late" features the voices of Indigenous activists, such as Guam-based attorney and writer Julian Aguon; climate scientists, among them Jacquelyn Gill and Edward Carr; artists, such as Marshall Islands poet and activist Kathy Jeñtil-Kijiner and longtime organizers, including "The Tyranny of Oil" author Antonia Juhasz and "Emergent Strategy" author adrienne maree brown.
Shaped by the clear-eyed wisdom of editors Rebecca Solnit and Thelma Young Lutunatabua and enhanced by illustrations by David Solnit, Not Too Late is a guide to take us from climate crisis to climate hope.
