Description

Forests are burning. Glaciers are collapsing. Sea levels are rising. Species are being wiped off the face of the planet. People are fleeing what were once their homes. What remains is climate chaos, panic – and organisation. And yet, it’s business as usual.
Andreas Malm’s *The Storm’s Development: Living in the Age of Global Warming* is one of the most talked-about books of recent years. A fiery manifesto that has broken free from the anonymity of academia; a work that has come to be loved and studied by readers across the globe. Malm launches an attack on humanism’s dominant theories regarding the relationship between humans, society and nature, as well as on our way of life. Here, the line is drawn between the profit motives of capital and the accelerating effects of the climate crisis. A fiery manifesto, at the intersection of research and activism, which has taken the world by storm – delivered by a major contemporary thinker.

ANDREAS MALM [b. 1977] holds a PhD in Human Ecology from Lund University; he is an author and political activist. Over the past two decades, he has researched and debated climate issues, as well as the political situation in the Middle East. His previous publications include the book *It is our firm belief that if nothing is done now, it will be too late*.
