*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Great writers, from Joanne Harris to Alasdair Gray, and Liz Jensen, devise original responses to the biggest challenge of our time
Beacons throws down the gauntlet, challenging best-selling and award-winning authors to imagine where we, and out planet, might be headed and, in imagining, help us transform the way we look at our world and change things for the better. From Joanne Harris'' powerful vision of a near future where ''outside'' has become a thing of history to Nick Hayes'' beautifully illustrated tale of the bond between man and nature, Beacons sees the coming together of dystopian satire, speculative and historical fiction, metaphorical flights of fancy, quiet tragedy, and farcical comedy in stories that are as various as our possible futures. Provocative, encouraging, and deeply moving, Beacons represents the best of short story writing - and collectively illuminates the immediacy of the ecological problems at hand.
All author royalties will go to the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition, one of the largest groups of people dedicated to action on climate change and limiting its impact on the world''s poorest people.
