Venable, Stephanie Yue (Illustrator) 4.25. ![]() ![]() When somebody wants toast for breakfast, we need to make sure there’s a system in place that can deliver the bread, the toaster, and the electricity to run the toaster without adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. This sort of personal action is important for the signals it sends to the marketplace-see the next section for more on that point-but the bulk of our emissions comes from the larger systems in which we live our daily lives. When you ask yourself what you can do to limit climate change, it’s natural to think of things like driving an electric car or eating less meat. (There will also be ways to partner with me through my work with Breakthrough Energy, my organization dedicated to putting the ideas in this book into action.)Įxcerpt from How to Avoid a Climate Disaster I hope it gives you some ideas for how you can help solve this urgent problem. ![]() Although the most impactful steps we can take to avoid a climate disaster must happen at the governmental level, you have power to effect change as a citizen, a consumer, and an employee or employer.īelow is a book excerpt that covers the citizen and consumer categories. ![]() ![]() The good news is that there are things everyone can do.

The fact that a cask of Amontillado plays a key role makes it interesting for sherry lovers as well, although at first sight you would be tempted to question Poe’s wine knowledge. The setting (an underground cellar), the time (carnival), the metaphors of colour (a black silk mask and a motley-coloured costume) and the subtle foreshadowing of the murder ( I shall not die of a cough) makes this an interesting, classic short story. It is told by the murderer fifty years after committing the crime, making most of the narrator’s claims a little unreliable – in the end it is a tale of subjective interpretation. It is a murder story, but not a whodunit. He wants his opinion on the wine, because he has his doubts about the quality. He decides to use Fortunato’s love for wine against him, and lures him into his cellar where he supposedly keeps a pipe of what passes for Amontillado. It is set in an unnamed city in Italy, during the carnival and tells the story of Montresor, who seeks revenge on Fortunato, a fellow nobleman who insulted him several times. ![]() The Cask of Amontillado is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in November 1846. ![]() ![]() If he recognizes her, the demons of her past will surely erupt.

Warily he accepts that he must enter society and seek a wife-a sensible woman who can oversee his properties, leaving him free to continue his work. Most men would be thrilled to learn they've inherited a title and estate from a distant relative, but Daniel is appalled because the burden of wealth will interfere with his medical calling. ![]() Viewed as a saint by those who know him, in his own mind he never quite manages to live up to his own high standards. ![]() ![]() Regency thrills from the New York Times bestselling author of Not Quite a Wife, who always delivers "a dventure, passion and pure reading pleasure" (Jo Beverley).Īfter the death of his sweetheart when he was at university, Daniel Herbert buried his grief in medical studies and his passion for healing. ![]() ![]() Things happened, a building held or fell down, its surroundings followed.
