“"A dazzling command of science and relentless faith in people ... I never miss reading him." --Naomi Klein "George Monbiot is always original--both in the intelligence of his opinions and the depth and rigour of his research." --Brian Eno "His passion for social and ecological justice is undimmed by twenty-first-century cynicism. His desire for knowledge across the widest gamut of subjects (scientific, historical, political and cultural) enables him to reach places which are foreign territory to many of us." -- Herald (Glasgow) "What most impresses in Monbiot's clever, elegant writing is the way he strives to think beyond protest towards realistic, representative solutions to the problems of world politics and trade." -- The Times "A writer of eloquence and passion." -- Observer”
