Discover Balancing Planet, the audiobook that turns the story of our planet and its climate into a vivid journey. From the molten beginnings of Earth to ice ages, human civilisation, and the warming world of today, this audiobook explores how climate has shaped life and how humans now shape climate.


With engaging narration, listeners will learn: The history of Earth's climate and its major turning points. How agriculture, industrialisation, and fossil fuels altered the planet. Current climate science, extreme weather events, and the global response. Innovative solutions: renewable energy, regenerative agriculture, carbon removal, and re-wilding. Ethical and cultural lessons from mythology, indigenous knowledge, and environmental philosophy.


A compelling blend of storytelling and science, Balancing Planet inspires listeners to understand the past, navigate the present and take action for a sustainable future. Ideal for anyone fascinated by the planet and humanity's role in shaping it.
