Reviews

“Susan Subak focuses on looking to the past for a way forward into the future. It is a very interesting way to approach climate change and I think it is unique.”—Brett Favaro, author of The Carbon Code: How You Can Become a Climate Change Hero

“A wonderfully crafted book. While there are a zillion books produced on climate change, this book fills a crucial niche in terms of both content and style. Looking at cases of existing low carbon culture in the United States is very useful. It draws attention to various ways of living and conducting one’s life. It’s a great, very readable addition.”—Johannes Stripple, editor of Governing the Climate: New Approaches to Rationality, Power, and Politics
