Author and environmentalist Bill McKibben has done it again. His new book, Here Comes the Sun, will be published on August 19th and is available for pre-order now from all major booksellers.

Here Comes the Sun tells the story of the sudden spike in power from the sun and wind—and the desperate fight of the fossil fuel industry and their politicians to hold this new power at bay. From the everyday citizens who installed solar panels equal to a third of Pakistan’s electric grid in a year to the world’s sixth-largest economy—California—nearly halving its use of natural gas in the last two years, the book traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy.

Catch Bill on tour this September! He’ll be traveling coast-to-coast to talk about the power of the sun and how you can help make solar energy a reality.
