This book is so lacking in sensationalism: why can't EVERYONE see that an international law against ecocide (the wilful destruction of the environment for financial gain) is need - and quickly?

Polly Higgins makes her case in layman's term (she was a lawyer). The book totally lacks those sensational claims that can so easily discredit climate action books: you know the kind of thing, "If we don't all abandon transport, houses and food IMMEDIATELY, the world will explode next Tuesday." Polly builds a series of nods of agreement until, the reader has committed to her cause.

Polly, sadly, died in 2019 but others are taking up the challenge and this law will come into being. Let's just hope that it comes soon! ( )
