Over dit product

Product Information

With the increase of natural disasters, droughts, and superstorms, it's clear that climate change isn't coming--it's here. The ecological crisis of climate change--and how we handle it--is the challenge of this century. Though policy changes or technological advances may help, they're not enough. We are in need of new ways of thinking and acting; new ways of understanding our relationship to the world. Riders in the Storm assesses the challenges of climate change through an interdisciplinary study, examining the basic scientific, political, economic, and moral dimensions through a framework of philosophical ethics. Equipped with colorful graphics and images, suggestions for further research and reading, and dialogue prompts, this text is a straightforward and engaging introduction to climate change.

Reviews
"The century's task - a task set for us by that implacable master physics - is to make ourselves smaller. This book is an eloquent reflection on that beautiful chore." Bill McKibben Middlebury College In Riders in the Storm: Ethics in an Age of Climate Change, Brian Henning shows that we are called to rethink everything in view of the catastrophe we face so as to engage together in the great work to which Thomas Berry has been calling us. Central to honorable pursuit of this work is personal morality, and this morality must shape our lives to the needs of our times. Like every truly wise morality, what it calls for is not miserable sacrifice but joyful, responsible life. Much that he describes is familiar to long-time participants in the environmental movement. --John Cobb Jr. Claremont School of Theology We are now in the first century in the thirty-five million centuries of life on Earth in which one species can jeopardize the planet's future. In Riders in the Storm: Ethics in an Age of Climate Change, Brian Henning is right that the identity of the twenty-first century will increasingly be defined by long-festering ecological crises, made worse by political and market failures. Here is a basic introduction, full scale across science, politics, and economics, seeing climate change as both ethical failure and opportunity. His analysis is well researched and documented, well presented, and quite readable. Riders in the Storm joins the most forceful voices in this keystone concern on the global agenda. --Holmes Rolston III University Distinguished Professor and Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University
