Review Quotes:

"The book starts from the idea that, in order to obtain a clear vision and to present documented, relevant, sustainable and accurate responses to climate change, it will be necessary to take a cultural perspective and re-evaluate humanity's priorities by means of a circular approach, with a clear direction of action at individual, sectorial, national and global levels. ... The book persuasively demonstrates that it is essential for our future to experiment with social and economic restructuring, to better combat global warming." (Ionica Oncioiu, Agriculture and Human Values, Vol. 36, 2019)
