“[Mann] shows us how we can take the bold steps we must all take together to win the battle to save this planet.” – Greta Thunberg

With more than two decades on the front lines of climate science and policy, Michael E. Mann has become one of our best known and most valuable science communicators. Through six books, including his latest, Our Fragile Moment, Mann explains what the research means, how we should live and what we should demand of our leaders. Using Earth’s long climate history to frame the problems that we face today, Mann combines urgency with agency, encouraging people to appreciate the gravity of the unfolding climate crisis while emboldening us to act before it truly does become too late.
