Then there’s a little childhood whimsy from Brambly Hedge by Jill Barklem, and, to round off the list, the young adult fantasy The Language of Spells by Garret Weyr.

They also, when I looked, seem to be accounts that only make negative reviews to anything climate related. For many years, Sadiq wasn t fully aware of the dangers posed by air pollution, nor its connection with climate change. As mayor he sought out new ways to tackle air pollution and he met the mother of a nine-year-old, Ella Kissi-Debrah, who died from an asthma attack on February 15, 2013. He admitted this was a stunt designed to strengthen his ties with the Evening Standard whose support he needed during his campaign for the mayoralty two years later.In his newly released book, Breathe: Tackling the Climate Emergency, Khan discusses why implementing lasting policy solutions to environmental issues presents policymakers with such difficulties and dilemmas, and how these can be overcome. If you’re living in a more deprived area, you’re much more likely to experience the negative effects of air pollution.

Along the way he discovers he’s developed adult-onset asthma, has a minor heart attack onstage at COP26 in Glasgow, and becomes leader of an international alliance of 40 prominent cities – unopposed. When Athena dies in a freak accident, June steals her unpublished manuscript and publishes it, parading it as her own. Whether by building coalitions across the political spectrum, putting social justice at the heart of green politics, or showing that the climate crisis is a health crisis too, he offers a playbook for anyone - voter, activist, or politician - who wants to win the argument on the environment.

In my to-be-read pile are Linda Cracknell’s Writing Landscape, and Kirsty Loehr’s A Short History of Queer Women.

Maxwell is a freelance journalist and this is her debut novel, focusing on motherhood in a way we rarely hear about in fiction, telling the story of a woman who has a baby alone using a sperm donor and her failure to bond instantly with her child. A great book, sadly Goodreads seems to be becoming as full of fake troll accounts as twitter, so it’s been liked down by a lot of fake 1 star reviews, from accounts that seem to have not read the book, judging by the wild claims they make. His interlocutor later becomes a sworn convert which sounds slightly too perfect, though the newly expanded scrappage scheme surely helped. Mark Billingham’s The Last Dance is a police procedural that sparkles with humour, interspersed with a brutal double murder and the grim realities of modern law enforcement.This informs Khan’s approach to cleaning London’s air, protecting the city’s most vulnerable communities from the worst carbon emissions and ordinary Londoners from the harshest economic costs of change. He also describes his family affectionately, including the brothers with whom he shared childhood pranks and rode on his dad’s bus.

In this exclusive event Sadiq Khan celebrates publication of Breathe, his uplifting new playbook that offers actions for tackling the climate crisis. Khan fails to mention that two London borough councils, Redbridge and Harrow (both then under Labour control) removed their Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs). Air pollution and global warming are largely caused by the same thing: greenhouse gases, particularly from transport, industry and power generation.

Reading the book, you get the message that “reshape” obviously means close roads, impose more charges on motorised transport and promote the idea of 15-minute cities which, by arbitrarily restricting freedom of movement, are undemocratic.
