Book Review: Under the Sky We Make: How to be Human in a Warming World (2021). Kimberly Nicholas (PhD).

This is a different kind of climate crisis book, which focuses more on the personal impacts of climate change: how we think about it, our grief at what will be lost, and what already has been lost, but also what each of us can do to try to minimize the future losses, and give our own lives meaning. 

The author talks about how climate scientists try to cope with their own grief, depression and feelings of futility in the face of a massive human ecological catastrophe that seems impossible to prevent, and about what each of us can do and must do to stay sane, and make good choices in the areas of our own personal, family and work lives we can affect, to try to save the planet. 

This book is a very moving, thoughtful and constructive guide to how each of us can make a difference, and add to our collective positive response as humans to the climate disaster we have created.  Recommended.
