    [synopsis] => Conversations on sustainability, renewable energy, and other pressing issues: "A level of intellectual discussion all too absent in our national discourse." -Booklist 
  
A co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility, named one of the most influential women of the twentieth century by the Smithsonian Institute, Helen Caldicott presents a valuable collection of her interviews with prominent figures and environmentalists-in which she:
  
 *Scrutinizes our unsustainable dependence on nuclear energy
 *Explores how the United States could transition to renewable energy
 *Raises awareness about issues such as deforestation and sea-level rise
  
Extending well beyond the scope of conventional environmental discussions, this book gives us Martin Sheen on grassroots movements and unionized labor; Chris Hedges on the costs of standing up for your morals; and award-winning actress Lily Tomlin on contemporary politics, in a sarcastic and witty exchange at once hilarious and inspiring-and also includes interviews with Maude Barlow, Bill McKibben, Jonathan Schell, Daniel Ellsberg, Lester Brown, Frances Fox Piven, Bob Herbert, and more.
