Reviews

“The book is ethnographically driven, based on an impressive piece of original research that is a very welcome addition to both anthropology and social science more broadly. It is well-written, in an accessible manner, without the use of unnecessary or overwrought theoretical jargon.” • Mikkel Vindegg, CICERO Center for International Climate Research, Oslo
