That’s why I’ve spent the past several weeks with my head in a series of books, all offering insight into the natural world and how to protect it. Here are 20 environmental books published in 2024 for readers of all ages and experience. They offer vision, knowledge, and a sense of wonder — necessary to help us build a better planet no matter who’s in the White House in the year to come.

Life throws us curveballs, and we adapt. For instance, I never meant to read so many books on authoritarianism, but that’s just the way things have gone. With the Trump 2.0 administration poised to take office in short order, maybe it’s time for everyone to read more about autocracies — how they rise, how they affect the environment, and (of course) how to fight and stand up to them. Here are 20 books, including some primers on environmental activism, to help provide a roadmap for the days ahead.

The world’s deadliest environmental disaster got its start in 1958. Its effects are still being felt today, more than six decades later. It wasn’t an oil spill, like the Exxon Valdez or Deepwater Horizon. It wasn’t a chemical disaster, like Union Carbide’s gas leak in Bhopal. And it didn’t have anything to do with nuclear power, like Chernobyl or Three Mile Island.

This week "Sunday Supper" presents a double birthday bonanza. Monday is Bruce Springsteen's 75th birthday. He celebrated last Sunday with a full-tilt concert, as usual, at the See.Hear.Now Festival on his old turf in Asbury Park. I'll have a musical tour of some of the cities, including Asbury Park, in the Boss's catalogue. Meanwhile, Saturday was the 90th anniversary of Leonard Cohen's birth.
