Climate Change and Social Ecology: A New Perspective on the Climate Challenge

摘要

Stephen M. Wheeler's Climate Change and Social Ecologybrings us an ambitious,yet hopeful,view of how we might address the problems of climate change through social transformation. Fundamentally,this book frames climate change as a sustainability problem,and suggests that climate change might finally be the problem that moves us toward more sustainable communities and practices. The book begins with a thorough review of climate change science. Along with a strenuous effort by powerful economic interests to create doubt,social,and political inertia have been powerful forces to prevent meaningful action. Wheeler's history of the sustainability movement is impressive,enlivened by his personal involvement with environmental and sustainability advocacy.
