Recenzii
"Up until now discussions of climate change have been dominated by physical scientists. Yet, Hans Baer and Merrill Singer argue in their invaluable bookThe Anthropology of Climate Changethat global warming is to be understood first and foremost asocialproblem. It therefore requires a critical social science that will revolutionize how we view our relations with the environment. Building on the work of many other thinkers, particularly in anthropology, they take us a considerable way down the path that we must all travel, if we are to find the necessary solutions to the most daunting problem of the twenty-first century." — John Bellamy Foster, professor of sociology, University of Oregon, USA author of Marx’s Ecology
"Clearly these are inspired social scientists with a vision of what we need to do to get to a ‘more socially equitable and environmentally sustainable world’. The book does two things – asserts and exhorts social scientists to join in social activism against climate change and global capitalism; and provides an overview of work in anthropology and other social sciences within this framework. I heartily recommend it for classrooms and discussions with colleagues and friends in civic organizations." — Shirley Fiske, professor of anthropology, University of Maryland, USA and Chairperson of the American Anthropological Association Task Force on Climate Change
"Only connect…! From Earth archaeology and the origins of human agriculture to the 21st century corporate race for profit at any cost, Hans Baer and Merrill Singer’s eco-social analysis draws on world system theory, political ecology, and critical health anthropology to explain how the power of the 1% leads to a global climate turmoil threatening the very survival of the 99%. We ourselves, our politicians, and not least scientists on the Intercontinental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) need to read this book and to reckon with the authors’ democratic eco-socialist agenda for healing climate and saving life-on-Earth." — Ariel Salleh, University of Sydney, Australia, climate activist and author of Ecofeminism as Politics
"The first edition of Baer & Singer's book The Anthropology of Climate Change was vital, the second edition is fully updated and even better. It provides an excellent, easily readable and critical summary of anthropological, archaeological and sociological research, suitable for both beginners and for experts. It is an exciting text book, but it also conveys wide reading and an integrated theoretical approach which is illuminating and practical at all levels of expertise. If we don't understand the social, economic and political bases of power and profit then we will not understand climate change and its likely effects, and this book delivers on its promise. It is both a call for understanding and for informed action." — Jon Marshall, Public Communication Program, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia
