Review Quotes: "Sachs is like the Stephen Colbert of scholars--wicked funny and smart, dead serious, and utterly friendly and accessible, all while explaining why it's so urgent to have a good laugh as we deal with the climate crisis. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll cry."-- "Jenny Price, author of Stop Saving the Planet! An Environmentalist Manifesto"
