Science, Culture, and Climate: Navigating Change explores the transdisciplinary nature of climate change by welding together different theoretical approaches. The initial chapter of the book traces the ancient nexus of climate change and the evolution of our human society, and how a colorless, odorless gas - a byproduct of our success - has turned that connection into a crisis. Following chapters provide a detailed overview of how people process risk to make big choices and warns us of how major change was accomplished in America's troubled past as it emerged from the Civil War.
The book reviews the global and national political response to the climate crisis over the past few decades and examines the politics of climate change in the United States. Finally, in the concluding chapters, the book engages the moral imperatives that form the basis of real trust to help pave the fraught road lasting climate solutions. This textbook is an essential resource for upper-level undergraduate students in environmental science and non-science majors engaging with climate change within history, anthropology, ethics political science, engineering, psychology, and other disciplines.
