Now or Never by Tim Flannery
Tim Flannery's Quarterly Essay was a national bestseller. Now or Never combines this landmark essay with nine responses to it by leading figures, and Flannery's reply. The result is an essential short book about the most urgent issue of our time. Flannery begins by discussing the idea of sustainability, and asks whether humanity can rise to this challenge. He brings to life the latest climate science and its implications. And he discusses in fascinating detail three potential climate change solutions, with special reference to Australia. Includes responses from Peter Cosier, Richard Branson, David Foster, Geoff Russell, Alanna Mitchell, Ian Lowe, Barney Foran, Barrie Pittock and Gwynne Dyer.

Book Review: Now or Never by Tim Flannery - Reviewed by Boomert (12 Jan 2010) First published as a quarterly essay last year, Now or Never is well worth the attention its re-release in book form will bring. In the initial essay, Flannery admitted that since 2007 he has ‘found it increasingly hard to read the scientific findings on climate change without despairing’. And yet, his essay articulated the opposite of despair; it is an exploration of potential solutions to the climate crisis. In re-releasing the essay, Black Inc. has included responses to it from a range of commentators. Among them, Peter Cosier expresses exactly why Flannery’s essay stands out from the myriad other works on this crisis: it embodies his ‘pre-disposition to conceptualise and visualise unknown worlds’. Not all of his imaginings for our future world meet with approval. David Foster, author of Slow Food, doubts there will be many takers for the scientist’s envisioned ‘holistic’ farming, Geoff Russell criticises Flannery’s neglect of the impact... |
