"20 Environmental Books to Inspire You in the Year Ahead"

"Our latest group of reviews showcases books that remind us about what we’re saving — and why we do it."

"Everywhere I go this holiday season, I hear the same refrain: People are desperate for something to inspire them.

That’s why I’ve spent the past several weeks with my head in a series of books, all offering insight into the natural world and how to protect it.

Here are 20 environmental books published in 2024 for readers of all ages and experience. They offer vision, knowledge, and a sense of wonder — necessary to help us build a better planet no matter who’s in the White House in the year to come.

You’ll find my capsule reviews below, along with the books’ official descriptions. The links for each title go to the official publishers’ pages, but you should also be able to find any of these books through your local booksellers or libraries."
