Extinction Rebellion - This Is Not A Drill (A Handbook) (2nd Hand Softback)
ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780141991443
Synopsis
“. . . I am not so young anymore as you can see. My generation is a failure. We have failed you. So I am here today to support the young people for their courage to strike and march on behalf of all of us.”
There have been other books claiming to represent the views of Extinction Rebellion but this is the first official publication (by Penguin). It consists of a series of eassys on subjects such as "The Heat is Melting the Mountain", "The Climate Emergency and the End of Diversity" and "A Green New Deal". The writers are eloquent and articulate and they share the view that humanity is embroiled in an event unprecedented in its history.
The book is presented in two parts; part one Tell the Truth and part two Act Now. The essays are interspersed with shock slogans in large letters and inspirational quotes and eye witnesses accounts of environmental disasters such as the Californian fires and cyclones in Mozambique.
The book concludes with a instruction to stop reading and a call to arms for non violent direct action. There is advice on how to close a road and how to shut a bridge and an instruction to rebel followed by a draft social contract between citizen and state.
This a powerful book and its call is urgent and will resonate with many people who are increasingly feeling that action is needed to prevent further harm to the Earth.
It's time. This is our last chance to do anything about the global climate and ecological emergency. Our last chance to save the world as we know it. Now or never, we need to be radical. We need to rise up. And we need to rebel.
Extinction Rebellion is a global activist movement of ordinary people, demanding action from Governments. This is a book of truth and action.
By the time you finish this book you may have become an Extinction Rebellion activist. Act now before it's too late.
