Ecosocialist Bookshelf profiles several new books addressing environmental and social issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. One book examines Cuba’s successful transition to a low-carbon economy in response to losing oil imports after the Soviet Union collapsed. Another provides a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to viruses, revealing their true nature beyond just causes of disease. Kings of Their Own Ocean investigates the bluefin tuna and unsustainable industrial fishing practices. Saying No to a Farm-Free Future argues against replacing small-scale farming with factory-produced foods, instead advocating for low-carbon agrarian localism.

Finally, Slavery, Capitalism and the Industrial Revolution documents how slavery profoundly shaped Britain’s economic rise and the forces of capitalism, showing its role was not just in toppling statues but building the entire system.
