Asked 8 BILLION Hummingbirds...

Is this a world first?

A book about the climate that leaves you feeling positive!

(Unless your name's Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg or Trump.)

Readers are calling it a rare blend of facts, philosophy, optimism and action.

Make up your own mind

280 pages of amusing food, facts, and philosophy in a late-night hotel bar - that took me two and a half years to write.

And this book is FREE!

No ads. No paywall. No catch.

We're just trying to help save the planet here!

So what are you waiting for?

“ Who wants to read about the inconvenient truth? I must admit, I didn’t. But fear not! The Dragon and the Hummingbird has found the sweet spot because it sits at the intersection of a fascinating Venn diagram, where history, data, humour and hope converge. Because climate change issues are complex, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Reading this book reawakened my interest.”

"Finally, a book that bridges the gap between scientific facts and emotional understanding. Perfect for reaching those who need to hear this message."

"Put aside your daily priorities for a while and read Gramskii's new book 'The Dragon & the Hummingbird'. So much more interesting than reality TV. THIS IS THE REAL THING. It's an entertaining yet foreboding tale about why our world is in its current precarious state; sprinkled with humour, coupled with scientific and historical references . Almost a book within a film within a film. It moves along at a cinematic pace to provide an explanation of how capitalism and greed is the lumbering beast that has created inequality, financial disaster and climate change. It's time to do something about it before it's too late. We can all help. Find out how by reading this inspirational book. It's free, so what have you got to lose? (Apart from your planet)."

"I very much enjoyed this easy to read, and yet profound, book. It's very accessible and often humorous, yet it provides a deep message on the environment. Fundamentally, it answers two questions: how have we got to the mess we are now in, and what can we each do about it? I like the focus on personal responsibility and personal action. I learnt a lot. It also looks very nice!"

"I read this book pretty much straight away because I was interested in what it had to say, and I wasn't disappointed. It does an admirable job of distilling the complexity of the climate situation and how we got here. I was impressed by the historical context which I felt added to people’s (my) sum of knowledge and made the current crisis more understandable, in a depressingly inevitable sort of way. The conversation between two/three people was a great creative device to get the points across, otherwise it would have been a study paper and no one needs another of those."

"Highly enjoyable. It made the political bits understandable without being patronising, and the characters beautifully mitigated the danger of the second half becoming too didactic. Best of all, while it didn't flinch from the horror of a possible climate apocalypse, it planted credible seeds of hope and made me take stock of the small things I try to do, and to think about looking for other incremental changes I might be able to make."

“My son handed me a copy of your book. It has been a great read and a wonderful insight into the blindness of our society, and the impact that we are causing to the planet. Your hummingbird analogy works so well to inspire us to rise above selfish short - term endeavours with the hope of working to make a better world :)”

WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK

I spent 30 years in advertising trying to get people to buy stuff they didn't need. Then I saw the light or, more accurately, the rising sea levels, the flames, the floods, and I realised I was part of the problem.

So now, I'm using my experience to sell a different product: the fight against climate change.

Climate change is a tangled knot of science, economics, and human nature. It's complicated.

This book playfully untangles that knot in a way that isn't depressing or overwhelming.

So, this isn't a lecture and you don’t need a PhD to read it. Progress comes when the mainstream understands the challenge so they can act.

After all, if the forest is on fire, we have to ask: What difference can one hummingbird make? And the answer is:

- EVERYTHING -

if enough of us show up.

This thing took me two and a half years to write.

So be my guest, download it for free because I don't want price to be a barrier.

Of course, if you prefer the full physical experience of a book then buy the paperback - I'm selling it as at low a cost as possible.

And please feel free to 'tip' me if you want to help out. I want to write a new book after this.

Many thanks, Peace, love,
