[gep-ed] Re: just in time for fall courses: Oxford Press interdisciplinary introduction to climate change science and policy tailored to undergrads

[HARRIS, Paul [SSC]]

Dear All,

If you will be teaching courses related to Todd's book, you or your students 
may find the resources web pages that I developed for those using my book on 
climate governance to be useful. You can find them listed here:

https://paulgharris.net/pathologies-of-climate-governance/

Students may want to go directly to the "additional resources" page, here:

https://paulgharris.net/pathologies-of-climate-governance/pathologies-additional_reading/

All the best,

Paul

Dear colleagues,



While these notices of member publications are sometimes a little self-serving 
(and this one is no exception), I think I am also introducing here a public 
good.  After teaching “climate change science and politics” several years, 
Steve MacAvoy (hydrologist and professor of environmental science) and I 
(professor of political science) decided to write an interdisciplinary text.  
It is out and with updates to address the Biden administration and COVID.  It 
has sections on the political, economic and social challenges presented by 
climate change, as well as considering scientific and technical issues.  Most 
importantly it tries to be constructive and optimistic and yet realistic about 
the urgency of circumstances (we walked a tight and conscious line throughout). 
 The book as didactic case studies at the conclusion of each chapter, and we 
are compiling some teaching materials to post on an Oxford course website in 
the fall.



The link to it is here:



https://global.oup.com/academic/product/climate-change-science-and-the-politics-of-shared-sacrifice-9780190063696?cc=us&lang=en&;



Please consider this timely and wide-ranging text.  We are very proud of it and 
think it will help you give students a multi-dimensional perspective on climate 
change and how to ameliorate its effects.  If you have any questions about the 
text please let me know at eisen...@american.edu. 
 I am traveling until early July but will try to respond as I am able.  The 
book ships on July 8.



Thanks and best regards,



Todd Eisenstadt
