Energy is Life: Why Environmentalism Went Nuclear follows Zion Lightss personal and powerful journey: from grassroots green activism to becoming one of the UKs leading advocates for nuclear energy. In a time of climate crisis, energy poverty and growing demand for clean power, she examines why long-established environmentalists like herself once feared nuclear energy, why many have since come to embrace it, and makes a compelling case for why nuclear energy must be part of the solution. Accessible, evidence-based, and deeply human, this book challenges common myths and invites readers to rethink what it really means to care for people and planet alike. If you believe in a greener, fairer future, this book just might change your mind and give you hope.

Every leader comes to power promising growth: think back to the campaigns of Boris, Truss, Sunak, Starmer, Trump. Yet real-term income hasnt improved in the UK since 2008. Across the West, growth has stagnated for well over a decade, leading to cost of living crises, political instability and rising social tensions.Is real economic growth still possible? And with the climate emergency accelerating beyond repair, should we still be pushing for it?In Icarus Economics, acclaimed economist John Rapley argues that the problem of growth is inherently tied up with the climate crisis. We often assume that poor countries will bear the brunt of climate change, pandemics, and other exogenous shocks, but this book argues the opposite: western societies have more wealth and capital to lose and are less inherently resilient. In this book, he shows us how rich countries can grow their own economies by helping poor countries to decarbonise - and in the process, mitigate the effects of climate change.

Este libro es una versión remozada, y actualizada, de una obra que, con el título El decrecimiento explicado con sencillez, ha disfrutado de seis ediciones. En sus páginas se recuerda que los límites medioambientales y de recursos del planeta invitan a concluir que, ante un colapso general que se antoja cada vez mas probable, en el Norte rico tenemos la obligacion de reducir con urgencia los niveles de produccion y de consumo. Desde la perspectiva del decrecimiento, que reclama salir del capitalismo, de la explotacion y de la desigualdad que este impone, tenemos que asumir, con todo, varias tareas adicionales: recuperar la vida social que hemos ido perdiendo, desarrollar formas de ocio creativo, repartir los trabajos, reducir el tamaño de muchas de las infraestructuras que hoy empleamos, restaurar el vigor de la vida local y, en fin, apostar por la sobriedad y la sencillez voluntarias. ¿Que es el decrecimiento? ofrece una introduccion breve y comprensible a la perspectiva del decrecimiento.Carlos Taibo ha sido durante treinta años profesor de Ciencia Politica en la Universidad Autonoma de Madrid. Entre sus obras sobre decrecimiento y materias afines se cuentan En defensa del decrecimiento, Colapso. Capitalismo terminal, transicion ecosocial, ecofascismo, Ante el colapso y Decrecimiento: una propuesta razonada.
