Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
What do you do when the subject matter of life on this planet seems to lack . . . life? Your read The Nutmeg's Curse, which eschews the leaden language of climate expertise in favor of the re-animating powers of mythology, etymology, and cosmology. Ghosh challenges readers to reckon with war, empire, and genocide in order to fully grasp the world-devouring logics that underpin ecological collapse. We owe a great debt to his brilliant mind, avenging pen, and huge soul. Do not miss this book-and above all, do not tell yourself that you already know its contents, because you don't. NAOMI KLEIN, author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climatemehr
