In one of the most important books of recent years, Gaia Vince managed to knit together two big issues of our time, climate catastrophe and migration, into a coherent argument that even manages to squeeze some hope out of the mess we're in. Whereas politicians and media too often tend to exaggerate migration problems while ignoring or playing down climate problems, Vince argues that migration is not only a normal part of being human but also a necessary part of the solution to the problems we're facing including climate catastrophe.
