Unstoppable climate change. Extensive extinction. The breakdown of
ecosystems. Mass displacement. Wars over resources. Societal collapse.
The projections for our future feel too catastrophic to be plausible, too
distant to be true.
But ecology is the study of the connections that sustain life, and Daniel
Macmillen Voskoboynik's book links history with biology, economics with
physics, to join the dots between our overlapping crises. Whether it be
environmental degradation or damaged health, racial oppression or gender
injustice, our multiple problems have common roots but also shared solutions.
Unpacking our past gives us the tools 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.
Open its pages to come to terms with complexity, and heal our separation
from nature and each other.
