Scribe acquires Client Earth by James Thornton and Martin Goodman

We are pleased to announce that we have acquired Client Earth by environmental lawyer James Thornton and award-winning writer Martin Goodman.

James Thornton is a dynamic American lawyer who twelve years ago moved to London and founded Client Earth, the campaigning legal charity that has spearheaded an entirely new way of defending our planet. He now has sixty lawyers working with him full-time, finding, taking on and winning cases across a spectrum from blocking Scandinavian attempts to recommence whaling, to winning against the UK government for breach of the Air Quality laws, to reform of the European Fisheries Policy (using a high-profile campaign fronted by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall), to stopping new coal-fired stations being built in Poland, and shutting down illegal forestry in central Africa.

The book will be co-written with Martin Goodman, the Director of the Philip Larkin Centre for Poetry and Creative Writing at Hull University and the author, amongst others, of a brilliant biography of JS Haldane, Suffer and Survive.

Philip Gwyn Jones acquired world rights from Patrick Walsh of Conville & Walsh. We will publish in the UK and Australia in January 2017.
