- Summary:
- 'World on Fire' provides readers with the opportunity to ponder how the highly topical issues of climate, extinction, and disease relate to issues in their personal lives. It presents a new theoretical framework based on biomass and energy for thinking about animals and their role in planetary health and inspires strong reader engagement through its straightforward yet provocative conclusion: no longer eating animals as a solution.
