Klappentext

Dougald Hine, author and social thinker, has spent most of his life talking to people about climate change. And then one afternoon in the second year of the pandemic, he found he had nothing left to say.

Why would someone who cares so deeply about ecological destruction want to stop talking about climate change now? At Work in the Ruins explores that question. In eloquent, deeply researched prose, Hine demonstrates how our over-reliance on the single lens of science has blinded us to the nature of the crises around and ahead of us, leading to ‘solutions’ that can only make things worse.

For anyone who has found themselves needing to make sense of the Covid time and how we talk about it, At Work in the Ruins offers guidance by facing the depth of the trouble we are in. Hine, ultimately, helps us find the work that is worth doing in the ruins.
