Beschreibung:
Adam Aron is a climate activist and professor of psychology at the University of California, San Diego. His research and teaching focuses on the social science of collective action on the climate crisis.
This book explains the mechanisms and impacts of global heating, the reasons behind the lack of serious effort to combat climate change, and explores actions that there is still time to take. It is an excellent resource for students and researchers on the climate crisis and current blocks to progress.
