Re: [gep-ed] essential reading for Ecology in a Time of Planetary Crisis

[jpsapin]

Thanks for sharing the compiled list, Elizabeth, it will be useful to me.

Just noting, it's surprising how few contributions by women and 
non-white folks are listed...


Happy break,

JP

Many thanks to all who responded to my query with so much exciting 
reading for my students!


I posed the same query to the AESS list, and have pasted below the 
synthesized list of recommendations I received (in no particular 
order), and attached my syllabus to this email.


Happy holidays!

would be great...


Here is a link to a very good article in the Guardian

Erle Ellis' little book /Anthropocene: A Very Short 
Introduction/ (Oxford Press) is very inexpensive and very good.

/Learning to Die in the Anthropocene/, by Roy Scranton

Dahr Jamail's /The End of Ice/

  * while neither new nor per se ecologically oriented I find it
worthwhile entertaining Kwame Anthony Appiah's "Honor Code"
(2010), i.e. applying his concept of "moral revolutions" to the
climate crisis, the inacceptability of burning fossil fuels as a
prospective societal driver of decarbonization..

  * I've been wondering whether Mark Lynas might come around to
revisit and update his "Six Degrees" (2007) in view of recent IPCC
reports and, indeed, special reports (apparently not yet...)

  * a more obvious, albeit less "catchy" read could be Oran Young's
attempt to invoke "social capital for the Anthropocene" (Governing
complex systems, 2017)

The Carbon Removal Debate: A New ICRLP Report

[https://gallery.mailchimp.com/aefcb76ff1d91744e5f20bb45/images/272ba50d-ba07-48f2-957e-9274be8ba642.png]
The second report of our carbon removal briefing paper series, "The Carbon 
Removal Debate," examines how carbon removal methods have suddenly appeared on 
the climate agenda & argues for a more honest debate about their uncertainties. 
Prepared by communications scholar Matthew 
Nisbet, this report 
builds on two events held by ICRLP to solicit critical feedback. The Consortium 
for Science, Policy and Outcomes at Arizona State University co-hosted the 
first event with us (see video 
here) and the second 
meeting was convened in Boston (see meeting report 
here).
