“Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything is a ground-breaking work on how climate change changes everything. Written with an elegant blend of science, statistics, field reports and personal insight, it does not paralyze but buoys the reader. The book’s exploration of climate change from the perspective of how capitalism functions produces fresh insights and its examination of the interconnectedness between our relationship with nature and the creation of better, fairer societies presents a radical proposal. Klein’s urgency and outrage is balanced by meticulous documentation and passionate argument. Heart and mind go hand in hand in this magisterial response to a present crisis.” – 2014 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction Jury (Charles Foran, Priscila Uppal, and Merrily Weisbord)

“A lively work of astonishing breadth and ambition, both far-reaching and intimate, This Changes Everything makes a case that the drift towards hyper-corporatism can only worsen the crisis that imperils the planet. Sure to rouse even the most complacent into re-examining their view on the climate question, it delivers its message with a kind of spring-loaded tension. Yet Naomi Klein sees a possible hopeful outcome: ordinary citizens re-connect and re-engage, affirming the power of mass activism to lead change and, in doing so, reclaiming a more democratic society.” – 2014 Shaughnessy Cohen Prize Jury (Denise Chong, Terry Galvin, Jane Taber)
