Max Boykoff's Latest Book 'Creative (Climate) Communications' Coming Out August 22nd Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 08/09/2019 - 09:48

Conversations about climate change at the science-policy interface and in our lives have been stuck for some time. This handbook integrates lessons from the social sciences and humanities to more effectively make connections through issues, people, and things that everyday citizens care about. Readers will come away with an enhanced understanding that there is no 'silver bullet' to communications about climate change; instead, a 'silver buckshot' approach is needed, where strategies effectively reach different audiences in different context.

Includes strategies that help people have productive conversations about climate change that involve listening and adapting rather than just trying to win an argument
Bridges sectors and audiences, bringing together important material for undergraduate and graduate courses
Shows the importance of being creative in communications about climate change in the twenty-first century - many businesses, institutions, and collectives can benefit from this, not just students and academics

**Benjamin Hale will speak about and sign his new book, The Wild and the Wicked: On Nature and Human Nature, on Wednesday, April 5th at 7:30pm.**

About the Book:
For years, environmentalists have insisted that nature is fundamentally good. In The Wild and the Wicked, Benjamin Hale adopts the opposite position — that much of the time nature can be bad — in order to show that even if nature is cruel, we still need to be environmentally diligent. Deftly weaving anecdote and philosophy, he shows that we don't need to love nature to be green. What really ought to be driving our environmentalism is our humanity, not nature's value. More about the book can be found at: http://environmentalthought.com
