Passionate, profound and funny, Berman is inspiring people from all walks of life to get off the sidelines and fight the good fight--and win. This unique book--part manifesto from a leader, part humorous activist memoir from a soccer mom--offers a wryly honest, behind-the-scenes, ultimately uplifting look at the state of the planet. For almost 20 years, Tzeporah Berman has been one of our most influential environmentalists. A founder of ForestEthics and PowerUp Canada, she was instrumental in shaping the tactics and concerns of the modern environmental movement. In her early 20s she faced nearly one thousand criminal charges and 6 years in prison for her role organizing blockades in Canada's rainforest. She later transformed her tactics and sat down with CEOs and political leaders to reshape their policies and practices. In her new role at Greenpeace International she is fighting the problem of our time: climate change. This Crazy Time is an impassioned plea for a better world.

I found it gripping; I've sticky-tagged, highlighted and noted by copy half to death. Highly recommended for anyone, but especially my environmentally-aware mom friends who wonder how to make more of a difference. What makes Tzeporah's story remarkable is how approachable she comes across, how much like any frazzled mother you might run across in a grocery store--except that, you know, she's director of climate change for Greenpeace and got her start helping to save Clayoquot Sound.
