title: The Oxford Handbook of Climate Change and Society (Oxford Handbooks)
author: John S. Dryzek
description: <br />"Climate change is about the relationship of society with nature and economy. It is also about the 'nature' of human society, our wants, needs and greed. But too little is said about this connection between science and society. This <em>Handbook</em> joins the dots, to bring a rich understanding of how society can 'fix' this existential challenge by 'fixing' itself first. Read it because you must."--Sunita Narain, Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi <br />
