Geels, University of Manchester, UK ‘Given the wicked environmental problems facing modern society, from ocean acidification and water insecurity to species extinction and climate change, there may be no better time to grapple with the topic of sustainability transitions. I’ve long considered Professor Geels the Guru of Sociotechnical Transitions Theory, and in this masterpiece, he doesn’t disappoint. The book’s topics are as complex as they are compelling, including a novel and original synthetic framework and crosscutting themes such as agency and actors, acceleration and geopolitics. It’s a highly readable, concise, and clever amalgamation of hundreds of academic studies and thirty years of work.’ – Benjamin K.

This collection of studies is a useful counter to that conventional wisdom. The examples contained here point out that governments can and do deliver the goods, and do so in settings where poor governance is assumed to be endemic.’ – B.
