Book description
Imagine hearing John Vidal's voice, calm but charged with decades of Guardian reporting, tracing the terrifying link between our ravaged planet and the pandemics swirling around us. Fevered Planet isn't just a book-it's a vital alarm bell delivered in the most urgent audiobook format imaginable. Vidal, the Guardian's veteran environment editor, doesn't just list diseases; he takes you into Gabon's fading forests, the charred valleys near Lake Tahoe, and the choked air of our own cities, showing how deforestation, industrial farming, and reckless travel are literally birthing new plagues. George Monbiot calls it "urgent, fascinating and essential"-and you'll feel that urgency in every word Vidal speaks. His voice carries the weight of reporting from over 100 countries, making the science feel immediate, personal. He doesn't drown us in doom; he outlines a path forward with clarity, showing how healing the Earth is the only way to heal ourselves. Hearing this as an audiobook transforms it from reading into listening to a trusted guide urgently whispering, "This is why it matters now." It's the kind of work that shifts your perspective in real time-when you hear Vidal describe the interconnectedness of a forest fire, a virus, and your own health, you realize this isn't just environmentalism. It's survival. Bettany Hughes calls it "a searing, vital work," and you'll hear why. This isn't just about the past or future-it's about the next breath we take. Listen to Fevered Planet and you'll never see a pandemic, or a forest, the same way again. It's not just a book; it's a lifeline.
