BLUE MACHINE by Helen Czerski is on the Wainwright Prize's Conservation Shortlist 2024!

It's fantastic to see Helen Czerski's BLUE MACHINE: How The Ocean Shapes Our World, published by Penguin in October last year, on the Wainwright Prize's Conservation Shortlist 2024! 

The organisers said of the six-strong shortlist: 'While confronting the realities of a world in crisis – from wildfires, the global waste industry and climate change anxiety – the shortlisted books offer solutions to fight environmental destruction, as well as a rallying cry to find peace and connection in the pockets of nature on all of our doorsteps.' 

The winners will be announced on Wednesday 11th September at a ceremony at Camley Street Natural Park, near Kings Cross in London, where a £7,500 prize fund will be shared. You can see details of all the Wainwright Prize shortlists here. 

Best of luck to Helen! 🏆
