Science, Culture, and Climate: Navigating Change makes an engaging case that solutions to the climate crisis require a deep embrace of science, along with an understanding of social constructs and history. Initial chapters calibrate the reader's understanding and significance of science, with following chapters focusing on how climate and life on Earth are deeply interconnected, the evolution of human society, and how our energy choices have triggered a climate crisis. Other sections explore how people process risk as they respond to challenges while reflecting on how major change was accomplished in America's past.

Concluding chapter highlights the moral imperatives that form the basis of trust to help pave the fraught road to lasting climate solutions, along with global approaches. This textbook is ideal for undergraduate students in environmental science and non-science majors studying climate change within history, anthropology, ethics, political science, engineering, psychology, and other disciplines. It is also useful for professionals in areas related to environment and sustainability, for advanced high school students, as well as for a general readership. Supplementary resource materials to accompany the book include narrated videos, in-class activities, and PowerPoint slides.
