Bloomberg Green suggests a list of 10 climate books to add to your holiday reading list. The list includes both fiction and non-fiction books. One recommended book is 'Flight Behavior' by Barbara Kingsolver. This 2012 novel tells the story of a farmer's wife who is fascinated by the arrival of millions of monarch butterflies near her home. The insects' presence is later seen as a harbinger of climate change. Another recommended read is 'The Story of Owen: Dragon Slayer of Trondheim' by E. K. Johnston, set in a small, Canadian town where dragons exist and feed off carbon emissions.
Other books listed in the article include 'The Mountain in the Sea' by Ray Nayler, 'A Just Transition for All: Workers and Communities for a Carbon-Free Future' by J. Mijin Cha, and 'Car Wars: The Rise, the Fall, and the Resurgence of the Electric Car' by John J. Fialka.
The list isn't limited but offer readers a good variety of climate-themed books. Samantha Harvey's book 'Orbital' which won UK's Booker Prize this year is also included in the list.
Bloomberg Green team believes that books are a great way of learning about climate change. They further invite people to share their own recommendations or lists of climate-themed books on Instagram or Bluesky.
