Oil and Honey

Bill McKibben's Oil and Honey is about how an accomplished writer, through moral outrage and personal courage, discovered his voice. It is the story of the transformation of an establishment figure into a rebel, and how the road to rebellion lifted McKibben's words from the elegant to the prophetic.

Oil and Honey reads like a tell-all from one of America's most astute eco-political leaders and essential writers. There are organizational secrets on how to launch a political campaign and build a movement, and why spreading local honey on morning toast matters. It is a personal field guide to climate activism with an honest accounting of the personal costs and blessings of engagement. Bill McKibben has penned an inspiring story whose ending is still unfolding.
