The Next Crisis

DANNY DORLING is Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford. He appears regularly on TV and radio and writes for the Guardian, New Statesman and other papers. He advises the government and the Office for National Statistics. Among his books are Population 10 Billion; Injustice; Inequality and the 1%; Shattered Nation; Peak Injustice; and Seven Children.

The Next Crisis is an important case study in the importance of evidence-based enquiry. In his characteristic conversational style, Danny Dorling urges readers to think beyond the dominant narratives about crises, making use of data to reorient our understanding of what really worries the world. In doing so, he raises the profile of a set of crises that threaten people's sense of the future, outlining the issues in accessible terms and providing an urgent and compelling agenda for action. The Next Crisis is a direct, clear-sighted challenge for those seeking to tackle the problems that matter most.
