Possiamo salvare il mondo, prima di cena. Perché il clima siamo noi
Qualcuno si ostina a liquidare i cambiamenti climatici come fake news, ma la gran parte di noi è ben consapevole che se non modifichiamo radicalmente le nostre abitudini l'umanità andrà incontro al rischio dell'estinzione di massa. Lo sappiamo, eppure non riusciamo a crederci. E di conseguenza non riusciamo ad agire. Il problema è che l'emergenza ambientale non è una storia facile da raccontare e, soprattutto, non è una buona storia: non spaventa, non affascina, non coinvolge abbastanza da indurci a cambiare la nostra vita. Per questo rimaniamo indifferenti, o paralizzati: la stessa reazione che suscitò Jan Karski, il 'testimone inascoltato', quando cercò di svelare l'orrore dell'Olocausto e non fu creduto. In tempo di guerra, veniva chiesto ai cittadini di contribuire allo sforzo bellico: ma qual è il confine tra rinuncia e sacrificio, quando in gioco c'è la nostra sopravvivenza, o la sopravvivenza dei nostri figli? E quali sono le rinunce necessarie, adesso, per salvare un mondo ormai trasformato in una immensa fattoria a cielo aperto? Nel suo nuovo libro, Jonathan Safran Foer mette in campo tutte le sue risorse di scrittore per raccontare, con straordinario impatto emotivo, la crisi climatica che è anche 'crisi della nostra capacità di credere', mescolando in modo originalissimo storie di famiglia, ricordi personali, episodi biblici, dati scientifici rigorosi e suggestioni futuristiche. Un libro unico, che parte dalla volontà di 'convincere degli sconosciuti a fare qualcosa' e termina con un messaggio rivolto ai figli, ai quali ciascun genitore - non solo a parole, ma con le proprie scelte - spera di riuscire a insegnare 'la differenza tra correre verso la morte, correre per sfuggire alla morte e correre verso la vita'.

Wir sind das Klima!
Wie wir unseren Planeten schon beim Frühstück retten können!Es gibt Menschen, die nicht an den Klimawandel glauben. Und es gibt Menschen, die wissen - gestützt durch intensive wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen -, dass sich unser Planet durch menschliche Aktivitäten erwärmt. Aber glauben wir wirklich daran? Warum handeln wir dann nicht? Auf überraschend unterhaltsame und eindringliche Weise erkundet Jonathan Safran Foer in seinem Bestseller »Wir sind das Klima!« das zentrale Dilemma des Klimawandels. Jeder kann etwas tun, es muss nicht radikal sein. Wir müssen einfach nur anfangen, am besten gleich beim Frühstück.

Het klimaat zijn wij
De wereld redden begint bij het ontbijtMet zijn bestseller Dieren eten veroorzaakte Jonathan Safran Foer een sensatie: veel van zijn lezers werden vegetariër, of werden zich op z'n minst bewust van hun eetgedrag, Nu pakt hij het grootste thema van deze tijd aan: klimaatverandering. Om dit onderwerp concreter en daardoor urgenter te maken, herinnert Foer ons aan de kracht van gezamenlijke actie en geeft hij voorbeelden van succesverhalen uit het verleden als stimulans. Op deze manier - die van elk individu slechts een kleine inspanning vergt maar bij collectieve actie uiterst effectief is - kunnen we een van de grootste veroorzakers van klimaatverandering aanpakken: de bio-industrie. Op zijn geheel eigen en verassende wijze spoort Foer de lezer aan om na te denken over hoe volgende generaties ons handelen op dit cruciale moment zullen beoordelen. 'Op onconventionele maar overtuigende wijze legt Foer uit waarom actie ondernemen tegen klimaatverandering tegelijkertijd extreem eenvoudig en ongelooflijk moeilijk is. Foer dwingt de lezer de mate van zijn betrokkenheid bij "de grootste crisis aller tijden" te heroverwegen." - Publishers Weekly (starred)

Feasting and Fasting
The History and Ethics of Jewish Food"An accessible, detailed look at all aspects of Jewish food ... This rich, revealing collection will appeal to scholars and foodies alike." (Publishers Weekly) "A fascinating look at food from a variety of different angles … the essays were all well written and absorbing. Anyone interested in food studies or Jewish history will want to read this book." (Jewish World) "Anyone interested in Jewish food who reads these seven essays will emerge with plenty of points for further discussion [...] As a broad-based collection touching on many of the subspecialties, it should provide genuine 'food for thought' leading to further readings on specific topics." (Tradition) "Feasting and Fasting is a fascinating look at food from a variety of different angles… Anyone interested in food studies or Jewish history will want to read this book." (The Reporter) "This wide-ranging discussion of the history, philosophy, religion, and origins of Jewish culinary traditions should be in any serious culinary and Jewish history collection." (Midwest Review of Books) "Runs the gamut from biblical to contemporary Jewish food ways and includes both historical and ethical aspects of what, how, and why Jews eat." (Leah Hochman, University of Southern California) "Gathers a dream team of Jewish studies scholars whothank you!raise their heads from texts to focus on the meanings, rituals, conflicts, power dynamics, and pleasures of the material of food in the Jewish diaspora. . . . The book that follows considers the diversity of complex and often fraught relationships among food, Jews, and Others, across time and place, from biblical to supermarket aisle. It serves to initiate scholars of Judaism in the world of food studies and, for food scholars, richly informs studies of Jewish foodways." (Jonathan Deutsch, Co-author of Jewish American Food Culture) "Drawing on a stellar cast of contributors, Feasting and Fasting combines an unparalleled overview of Jewish food practices from Antiquity to Agriprocessors with boundary-breaking essays on Jewish foods and foodways. This remarkable volume will excite scholars and be invaluable for adoption in Jewish history and food studies courses."" (Roger Horowitz, author of Kosher USA: How Coke Became Kosher and Other Tales of Modern Food) "A fascinating account of the history of Jewish food, within and outside of dietary laws. . . . Crisco is for Jews? Peanut oil caused such debates? Who knew. This book is a great read." (Marion Nestle, Paulette Goddard Professor and Professor Emerita, New York University) "This is a spectacular set of essays on a wide and eclectic range of topics. They're accessible to a wide audience and further strengthen the evolving conversation about the nature of the interaction between Jewish life, food, and the wider world we live in." (Nigel Savage, CEO, Hazon: The Jewish Lab for Sustainability) "The three courses of this book — history, culture, and ethics — are a tremendous feast, to be savored for a long time to come!" (Rabbi Elliot N. Dorff, Rector and Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, American Jewish University)
