In her astonishing book UNDER THE SKY WE MAKE, Nicholas does for climate science what Michael Pollan did more than a decade ago for the food on our plate: offering a hopeful, clear-eyed, and funny guide to effecting real change, starting in our own lives. Saving ourselves from climate apocalypse will require radical shifts within each of us, to effect real change in our society and culture. But it can be done. It requires, Dr. Nicholas argues, belief in our own agency and value, alongside a deep understanding that no one will ever hand us power - we''re going to have to seize it for ourselves.
A leading global sustainability scientist, Nicholas knows the data about climate change, knows the catastrophes looming. Here she reveals how all the passionate sentiments she was taught to suppress as a scientist turned out to be the key tools to navigating a path out of the climate crisis. She makes a hopeful, clear-eyed and at time hilarious guide to effecting radical change in our society and culture-- starting with our own lives. -- adapted from back cover
