Common Preservation ― In a Time of Mutual Destruction

As world leaders eschew cooperation to address climate change, nuclear proliferation, economic meltdown, and other threats to our survival, more and more people experience a pervasive sense of dread and despair.

In Common Preservation, Brecher shares his experiences and what he has learned that can help ward off mutual destruction, and provides a unique heuristic―a toolkit for thinkers and activists―to understand and create new forms of common preservation.
