Trade Review
"This is a very fine book: philosophy perfectly attuned to our precise - and unique - moment, a moment when our species became suddenly very big indeed. Understanding what this means for how we see and understand the world is a crucial first step for the vital project of reducing our impact on everything around us." Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
"Quirky, inviting, funny, but also smart and relevant, Todd Dufresne's The Democracy of Suffering is a fresh, philosophically informed look at the Anthropocene." Andrew Pendakis, Brock University
"A fresh, sobering, yet hopeful look at climate change and us." Nahlah Ayed, CBC Radio Ideas
