Another review can be read on the publisher's web site.

And there is this from the jacket of the book from John Vaillant, author of "The Tiger and The Golden Spruce": “The Leap is a terrific book, and it filled me with excitement and hope for the future. Writing with a lucid, Gladwellian verve, Turner unpacks one of the most pressing issues of the day—the crucial transition to renewable energy—and demonstrates that this ‘leap’ is not only possible and affordable, it is happening right now—in a country, a company, a neighbourhood near you. Read it—and leap!”
