Illustrated by
Nhung Lê.
This lively "who's who" presents a diverse group of individuals who have made great strides in fighting climate change. Grouped by professional field, Zissu's compact profiles examine the triumphs and setbacks of each person's work. Subjects range from the famous to the obscure, including activist Greta Thunberg, former vice president Al Gore, scientist Vandana Shiva, urban farmer Will Allen, sustainable business leader Eileen Fisher, and documentary filmmaker David Attenborough. Profiles are accompanied by Lê's vibrant portraits, rendered in a high-contrast palette, and conclude with advice for how readers can follow each person's example. A glossary is appended.
