WEIGHT OF NATURE (PB)

Drawing on seven years of ground-breaking research, this book documents a public health crisis that has gone largely unreported. Eco-anxiety is just the tip. The rapidly changing environment is affecting our brain health, behaviour, decision-making and cognition. We can see the results in spikes in aggravated assault, lower levels of productivity and concentration, and even the global dementia epidemic. Climate change isn’t just around us, but within us.
