This is a refreshingly diverse contribution at an urgent time." Paul Robbins, Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison "Fundamentally, climate change is an anthropological problem. In this wonderful book, Michael Dove introduces readers to the rich diversity of anthropological perspectives on climate and society." J. Stephen Lansing, University of Arizona "An innovative and instructive collection of studies on social and climate change, this book is a much needed addition to the ongoing work on how to think about climate change. The critical clarity that the papers in this collection afford should help readers to think beyond the assertions of doom or the skeptical denials that characterize nearly all work on climate - instead, the book, especially its introduction by Dove, is an invitation to think differently: an unusual luxury that gladdens the spirit."
