An astonishing and urgently necessary book. One of our leading national and global activists, Mike Tidwell in this book makes the climate catastrophe utterly local and personal, analyzing what global warming has meant on his block and in his home. It’s all here: the devastating loss of neighborhood trees, the rising costs of flooding and erosion, the brutal summers and Tidwell’s personal battle with Lyme disease and the terrifying spread of other debilitating tick-borne diseases. A remarkable book that will change the way you think about climate change and remind you that, just as all the problems are fundamentally in your backyard, so are all the solutions.” - U.S. Congressman Jamie Raskin (MD-8), author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Unthinkable.
"Beautiful. Not only is Mike Tidwell a very fine writer, there's almost no one I know who's earned more of a right to set forward their ideas about how we climb out of the climate mess. For decades he has fought the fossil fuel industry, and done it creatively, effectively, and tirelessly. I'm awfully glad he's taken the time now to reflect." - Bill McKibben, author The End of Nature
