Planet Earth and its inhabitants are facing existential and other major threats resulting from human activities.

These include climate change, nuclear war, increasing social inequality and injustice, and a trend towards authoritarian governments. My website offers books, articles (research and popular), presentations and other information to assist a transition to an ecologically sustainable, socially just and more peaceful civilisation.
