This Is Not My Beautiful Biosphere Timothy MortonReviewsAs Gro Harlem Brundtland famously observed, Current environmental problems require that we move beyond compartmentalization to draw the very best of our intellectual resources fromã every fieldã of endeavor. This valuable collection of essays from a globally diverse group of historians and cultural scholars expands those resources in valuable ways by revealing new dimensions of the discourses surrounding climate change and the Anthropocene. -James Rodger Fleming, Charles A. Dana Professor of Science, Technology, and Society,ã Colby College, Maine, USA Understanding the way climate change is altering the world - imaginatively as much as materially - requires the serious engagement of humanities scholars who can bring with them great depths of insight about how and why humans reason and imagine. This volume is the first to bring together leading contemporary humanities scholarship about climate change into a single coherent setting. The chapters help us to think together about what changes in our climates mean. They show that the humanities are not simply a late-arriving appendage to Earth System science, to help merely in the work of translation. Their distinctive insights necessarily alter the ways in which the idea of climate change can be conceptualized and acted upon. -Mike Hulme, King's College London, UK As Gro Harlem Brundtland famously observed, Current environmental problems require that we move beyond compartmentalization to draw the very best of our intellectual resources fromã every fieldã of endeavor.
