Overview

Just as World War II called an earlier generation to greatness, so the climate crisis is calling today's rising youth to action: to create a better future.

In UNSTOPPABLE, Bill Nye crystallizes and expands the message for which he is best known and beloved. That message is that with a combination of optimism and scientific curiosity, all obstacles become opportunities, and the possibilities of our world become limitless. With a scientist's thirst for knowledge and an engineer's vision of what can be, Bill Nye sees today's environmental issues not as insurmountable, depressing problems but as chances for our society to rise to the challenge and create a cleaner, healthier, smarter world. We need not accept that transportation consumes half our energy, and that two-thirds of the energy you put into your car is immediately thrown away out the tailpipe. We need not accept that dangerous emissions are the price we must pay for a vibrant economy and a comfortable life. Above all, we need not accept that we will leave our children a planet that is dirty, overheated, and depleted of resources. As Bill shares his vision, he debunks some of the most persistent myths and misunderstandings about global warming. When you are done reading, you'll be enlightened and empowered. Chances are, you'll be smiling, too, ready to join Bill and change the world.

In Unstoppable: Harnessing Science to Change the World, the New York Times bestselling author of Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation and former host of "Bill Nye the Science Guy" issues a new challenge to today's generation: to make a cleaner, more efficient, and happier world.


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

A compelling and enjoyable read.” —Chemistry World Magazine

FEBRUARY 2016 - AudioFile

The Science Guy has something important to say about our climate crisis, and we’d better perk up and listen to this audiobook. As narrator, Nye uses his natural energy and enthusiasm to make this book compelling and thought-provoking. He doesn’t approach the problem with a doom-and-gloom attitude. Instead, he sees it as an opportunity for humans to think about the kind of world we want and how we can achieve it. He delivers his words masterfully and slows down a bit so we can more clearly understand the science behind his policy prescriptions. He does tend to get a bit overexcited at times, and that can make his narration difficult to follow, but, overall, his is a welcome, friendly voice on the topic.
