In een gepassioneerd betoog laat de kritische onderzoeksjournalist George Monbiot zien dat we bezig zijn er een puinhoop van te maken. We vernietigen onze leefwereld. Een alarmerende hoeveelheid planten en dieren sterft uit. De aarde warmt op, met alle gevolgen van dien. Maar ook de solidariteit staat onder druk. Ongelijkheid, haat en geweld nemen toe. Om dit op te lossen moeten we in het klein beginnen, in de lokale politiek, bij het beheer van de publieke ruimte, bij het opbouwen van netwerken van solidariteit en gemeenschap. Opgewekt maar vastberaden laat de kritische denker zien hoe het anders kan: vanuit eenvoudige medemenselijkheid en betrokkenheid op elkaar aan een nieuwe en betere wereld werken.

To be an environmentalist early in the twenty-first century is always to be defending, arguing, acknowledging the hurdles we face in our efforts to protect wild places and fight climate change. But let's be honest: hedging has never inspired anyone. So what if we stopped hedging? What if we grounded our efforts to solve environmental problems in hope instead, and let nature make our case for us? That's what George Monbiot does in Feral, a lyrical, unabashedly romantic vision of how, by inviting nature back into our lives, we can simultaneously cure our "ecological boredom" and begin repairing centuries of environmental damage. Monbiot takes readers on an enchanting journey around the world to explore ecosystems that have been "rewilded": freed from human intervention and allowed--in some cases for the first time in millennia--to resume their natural ecological processes. We share his awe, and wonder, as he kayaks among dolphins and seabirds off the coast of Wales and wanders the forests of Eastern Europe, where lynx and wolf packs are reclaiming their ancient hunting grounds. Through his eyes, we see environmental success--and begin to envision a future world where humans and nature are no longer separate and antagonistic, but are together part of a single, healing world.

What does the good life—and the good society—look like in the twenty-first century?

A toxic ideology of extreme competition and individualism has come to dominate our world. It misrepresents human nature, destroying hope and common purpose. Only a positive vision can replace it, a new story that re-engages people in politics and lights a path to a better future.

George Monbiot shows how new findings in psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology cast human nature in a radically different light: as the supreme altruists and cooperators. He shows how we can build on these findings to create a new politics: a “politics of belonging.” Both democracy and economic life can be radically reorganized from the bottom up, enabling us to take back control and overthrow the forces that have thwarted our ambitions for a better society.

Urgent and passionate, Out of the Wreckage provides the hope and clarity required to change the world.
