For readers of such crusading works of nonfiction as Katherine Boos Beyond the Beautiful Forevers and Tracy Kidders Mountains Beyond Mountains comes a powerful and captivating examination of two entwined global crises: environmental destruction and human traffickingand an inspiring, bold plan for how we can solve them.

A leading expert on modern-day slavery, Kevin Bales has traveled to some of the worlds most dangerous places documenting and battling human trafficking. In the course of his reporting, Bales began to notice a pattern emerging: Where slavery existed, so did massive, unchecked environmental destruction. But why?

Bales set off to find the answer in a fascinating and moving journey that took him into the lives of modern-day slaves and along a supply chain that leads directly to the cellphones in our pockets. What he discovered is that even as it destroys individuals, families, and communities, new forms of slavery that proliferate in the worlds lawless zones also pose a grave threat to the environment. Simply put, modern-day slavery is destroying the planet.

The product of seven years of travel and research, Blood and Earth brings us dramatic stories from the worlds most beautiful and tragic places, the environmental and human-rights hotspots where this crisis is concentrated. But it also tells the stories of some of the most common products we all consumefrom computers to shrimp to jewelrywhose origins are found in these same places.

Blood and Earth calls on us to recognize the grievous harm we have done to one another, put an end to it, and recommit to repairing the world. This is a clear-eyed and inspiring book that suggests how we can begin the work of healing humanity and the planet we share.

[An] expos of the global economys deadly dance between slavery and environmental disaster . . . Based on extensive travels through eastern Congos mineral mines, Bangladeshi fisheries, Ghanian gold mines, and Brazilian forests, Bales reveals the appalling truth in graphic detail. . . . Readers will be deeply disturbed to learn how the links connecting slavery, environmental issues, and modern convenience are forged.Publishers Weekly

This well-researched and vivid book studies the connection between slavery and environmental destruction, and what it will take to end both.Shelf Awareness (starred review)

This is a remarkable book, demonstrating once more the deep links between the ongoing degradation of the planet and the ongoing degradation of its most vulnerable people. Its a bracing reminder that a mentality that allows throwaway people also allows a throwaway earth.Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
