Science writer Lauren Fuge's new book is a call to action on climate change.
She says the Anthropocene - the epoch of human beings on earth - is hurtling towards an ecological deadline.
And people need to face up to not just cutting out fossil fuels - but we also must address colonial violence, corporate greed and worker oppression.
Her book Voyagers: Our journey into the Anthropocene looks not only at her own travels - but of some of the most famous travellers like Tupaia and Cook - as it seeks to answer why we explore, and how that fits with an unsafe future.
Lauren is doing her PhD looking at creative forms of climate communication.
