About this listen

In this important and timely audiobook, scientists from a broad range of disciplines detail their personal responses to climate change and the ecological crises that led them to form Scientists for XR and work tirelessly within it. Whether their inspiration comes from education or activism, family ties or the work environment, the scientists writing here record what drives them, what non-violent direct action looks like to them, what led them to become interested in the environmental crisis that threatens us all and what they see as the future of life on Earth.

From biologists to mathematicians, physicists to biochemists, ecologists to zoologists, each one is on a path to communicate the story behind the irrefutable science that drives them. Their inspirations are drawn from myriad sources – life-changing walks, inspirational stories of communities coming together, teaching climate change to 15-year-olds and deciding not to fly being a few. This collection adds compelling evidence we can all understand, as they turn science stories into human stories.

Critic reviews

'Eventually, in today's agonizing campaign to address the Climate Emergency, good science will win out over misinformation and denial. In the meantime, more and more scientists have chosen to put themselves on the frontline by taking non-violent direct action. Scientists on Survival highlights the eloquent testimonies of some of these inspiring campaigners. We must all continue to trust in science – and scientists like these who so courageously walk the talk.' (Jonathon Porritt, writer and campaigner)
'Scientists are usually restrained by academic dogma but here they talk from the heart about what the planetary emergency means to them as individuals. This collection of essays is deeply moving, inspiring and profoundly important.' (Matthew Todd, writer and broadcaster)
'Passionate, inspiring and essential.' (Caroline Lucas, former Green Party leader)
'At a time when it's often hard to keep hope for a better future alive, these stories from scientists who are choosing to take action are deeply inspiring. They should be a wake-up call for all of us.' (Natasha Walter, author, journalist and charity founder)
