Heal the great separation between humans and nature, and help create a future worth remembering "Will we head down a path of continued environmental degradation rendering the planet unlivable for future generations, or will we act in time to avert catastrophic climate change and environmental ruin?" - Michael Mann, Distinguished Professor, Penn State University and co-author, The Madhouse Effect "Macmillen Voskoboynik is a hopeful realist-exactly the sort of storyteller and analyst we need at this fraught moment." - Richard Heinberg, author, The End of Growth UNSTOPPABLE climate change. Species extinction. The breakdown of ecosystems. Resource wars and mass displacements. Societal collapse. The common projections for our future feel too catastrophic to be plausible, too distant to be true, too complex to address. But ecology is the study of the complex connections that sustain life. By taking an ecological view, The Memory We Could Be links history with biology, economics with physics, to join the dots between our overlapping crises. It shows how our multiple, seemingly intractable problems, be they ecosystem collapse, damaged health, racial oppression, or gender injustice, have common roots but also common solutions. Unpacking our past gives us the tools now, in the present, to build a more just future, where competition and control give way for cooperation and care. Avoiding the sterile language that so often surrounds climate change, The Memory We Could Be seeks to inspire, illustrating in human terms the world we could lose and the world we can still win. This is vital reading for coming to grips with complexity and healing our separation from nature and each other. "An exhilarating introduction to our ecological crisis, what caused it, and how we can imagine a better future." - Jason Hickel, author, The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions DANIEL MACMILLEN VOSKOBOYNIK is a journalist, educator, and activist with writing in Pacific Standard, Open Democracy, and New Internationalist.
