Recenzje

Praise for The Matter of Black Lives

'An essential volume for readers interested in the Black past and present, as all readers should be' - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for The Fragile Earth

'A must-read' Daily Beast

'Immersive and engaging . . . Reading three decades of essays on this important and urgent topic, one is appalled that we know so much and have repeatedly done so little with that knowledge, as well as simultaneously hopeful and skeptical that technological solutions can save us now' Library Journal

'Illuminating and powerful . . . a memorable book with a resounding message' Publishers Weekly (starred review)
