Ten Journeys on a Fragile Planet (2020)
Biography
Humanity is sliding toward a collision between global warming, resource depletion and population growth. The evidence is daunting but we are hampered by anti-science demagogues who tell us everything’s okay, that we’ll run forever on our current course. The problem we are facing is on a global scale, far beyond any individual. It can be overwhelming and it is difficult to remain cheerful.
Ten Journeys on a Fragile Planet tells the stories of outstanding Australians who have – and are – doing something to confront the perilous state of the environment.

The Path to a Sustainable Civilisation (2023)
Sustainability
In ecological terms, we are booked on the Titanic and steaming toward the iceberg, with uninformed or irresponsible leaders still throwing coal into the boilers. It is still possible to avert the collapse we are heading for, but it will require concerted and urgent action. This book documents the hopeful way forward and shows what you can do now to improve our chances. It may be the most important book you ever read.
Ian Lowe, Emeritus Professor, Griffith University
