Now I have an undergraduate textbook that brilliantly makes the case that climate change is above all a moral issue of unprecedented proportions. Adam Briggle turns the esoteric matters of philosophy and climate modeling into an accessible introductory text that engages students personally and academically. Interrogating familiar tropes and eschewing easy answers, Briggle provides students with the tools of ethical reasoning essential to navigating the wicked problem of climate change."" -- Janice Harvey, Department of Environment & Society, St. Thomas University, Canada ""Briggle provides an engaging and insightful overview of the key themes and debates in climate change. He frames the issue in terms of our mental models, where they come from, and how they resonate with our values. Briggle's Field Guide challenges us to reflect on the many paradoxes that define our climate problem and guides us to develop our own perspective on climate action through a series of questions and activities. This accessible text will be useful for undergraduates and anyone approaching climate change for the first time."" -- Sam Rowan, Department of Political Science, Concordia University, Montreal ""There aren't a lot of textbooks in the climate literature that introduce the complicated scientific and political background necessary to understand the climate problem while also remaining sensitive to the philosophical arguments that inform climate policy. Briggle's Field Guide goes a long way to fill that gap. This fantastic book offers readers and instructors a clearly organized, well-argued introduction to the conceptual connections between science, values, and policy."" -- Benjamin Hale, Departments of Environmental Studies and Philosophy, University of Colorado Boulder" “When I tell my liberal arts students that climate change is not just a science problem, they look skeptical.
