Written by a leading geographer of climate, this book offers a
unique guide to students and general readers alike for making sense
of this profound, far-reaching, and contested idea. It presents
climate change as an idea with a past, a present, and a future. In
ten carefully crafted chapters, Climate Change offers a synoptic
and inter-disciplinary understanding of the idea of climate change
from its varied historical and cultural origins; to its
construction more recently through scientific endeavour; to the
multiple ways in which political, social, and cultural movements in
today's world seek to make sense of and act upon it; to the
possible futures of climate, however it may be governed and
imagined. The central claim of the book is that the full breadth
and power of the idea of climate change can only be grasped from a
vantage point that embraces the social sciences, humanities, and
natural sciences. This vantage point is what the book offers,
written from the perspective of a geographer whose career work on
climate change has drawn across the full range of academic
disciplines. The book highlights the work of leading geographers in
relation to climate change; examples, illustrations, and case study
boxes are drawn from different cultures around the world, and
questions are posed for use in class discussions. The book is
written as a student text, suitable for disciplinary and
inter-disciplinary undergraduate and graduate courses that embrace
climate change from within social science and humanities
disciplines. Science students studying climate change on
inter-disciplinary programmes will also benefit from reading it, as
too will the general reader looking for a fresh and distinctive
account of climate change.
