Synopsis
The Memory We Could Be attempts to move beyond the sterile, technical
language that has pervaded discussions around climate change and ecology.
It seeks to counter the bureaucratic prose of our conversations, to humanise the
abstraction of global warming, and bring different voices into the conversation.
Drawing on a variety of sources – from anthropology to hydrology, botany to
economics, agronomy to astrobiology, medicine to oceanography, physics
to history – the author weaves a concise, lyrical and powerful story of our
relationship with nature.
The book is divided into three sections: Past, Present, and Future.
Past is about memory. Our inability to comprehend our staggering present partly
lies in our ignorance of our staggering past. We peer into the black box of our
human past to understand how we got here. We go on a journey across the
roots of our ecological crisis, from the Roman Empire to the forests of Burma, from
Congolese rubber plantations to Colombian oil fields.
Present illustrates how climate change is shaping our world today. Climate
change, so often associated with the future, is profoundly contemporary. By
exploring how climate change relates to poverties and inequalities, this section
hopes to equip the reader with a set of intuitive instruments to understand modern and future climate impacts.
Future is anchored around alternatives, and strives to illustrate in human terms the world we could lose and the world we can win. It also asks questions as to what we can do, and attempts to clarify a transformative vision of more ecological
and equitable economy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Unstoppable climate change. Extensive extinction. The breakdown ofecosystems. Mass displacement. Wars over resources. Societal collapse.The projections for our future feel too catastrophic to be plausible, toodistant to be true.But ecology is the study of the connections that sustain life, and DanielMacmillen Voskoboynik's book links history with biology, economics withphysics, to join the dots between our overlapping crises. Whether it beenvironmental degradation or damaged health, racial oppression or genderinjustice, our multiple problems have common roots but also shared solutions.Unpacking our past gives us the tools to build a more just future, wherecompetition and control give way for cooperation and care. Avoiding thesterile language that so often surrounds climate change, The Memory WeCould Be seeks to inspire, illustrating in human terms the world we couldlose and the world we can still win.Open its pages to come to terms with complexity, and heal our separationfrom nature and each other.FOREWORD BY RAOUL MARTINEZ, AUTHOR OF CREATINGFREEDOM: POWER, CONTROL AND THE FIGHT FOR OUR FUTURE The first book by this highly regarded young activist and journalist seeks to humanise the abstraction of global warming and bring different voices into the conversation.
