MADNESS ON THE BRINK OF ECO-APOCALYPSE is not just a book - it's a primal scream.

Fueled by heartbreak and righteous fury, Cheryl Leutjen rips the blindfold off our collective delusion and shoves readers face-first into the chaos we've unleashed upon the Earth. This isn't some detached academic treatise. This is what happens when a geologist, environmental attorney, and outraged mother watches life-support systems collapse while humanity hits the snooze button - again.

This book is mad. Every page seethes with the knowledge that we could have done better. We should have done better. But here we are - drowning in plastic, burning through forests, and teetering on the brink of collapse while profiteers toast our demise.

Leutjen doesn't flinch. She calls out the madness, exposes the lies, and demands we take action- not tomorrow, not someday - now.

This book dares us all to channel our fury into collective purpose -to connect, to collaborate, to rebuild. At every turn, she shines a light on those steadily doing the work - the community composters, guerrilla gardeners, citizen scientists, clothing swappers, and rebel souls who show us what's possible. Their hands are already in the soil, their solutions already taking root, and Leutjen urges us to step in beside them. Because we sure can't wait for oligarchs, bureaucrats, or megacorps to save us.

We are here to save ourselves.

"We've already hit the iceberg . . . Leutjen dares us to be awake and alert as we face this disaster, to understand our part in our global demise. Not for the faint of heart."
