Parents for a Future: How Loving Our Children Can Prevent Climate Collapse

In this stark and startling little book, Rupert Read helps us to understand the direness of our predicament while showing us a metaphor and a method -- a way of thinking -- by which we might transform it. From the relatively uncontroversial starting point that we love our own children, we are introduced to a logic of care that iterates far into the future: in caring for our own children, we are committed to caring for the whole of human future; in caring for the whole of human future, we are committed to caring for the future of the natural world. Out of such thinking, hope emerges.
