<p><strong>"As Gro Harlem Brundtland famously observed, "Current environmental problems require that we move beyond compartmentalization to draw the very best of our intellectual resources from every field of endeavor." This valuable collection of essays from a globally diverse group of historians and cultural scholars expands those resources in valuable ways by revealing new dimensions of the discourses surrounding climate change and the Anthropocene."</strong> –<i>James Rodger Fleming, Charles A. Dana Professor of Science, Technology, and Society, Colby College, Maine, USA</i></p><p><strong>"Understanding the way climate change is altering the world – imaginatively as much as materially – requires the serious engagement of humanities scholars who can bring with them great depths of insight about how and why humans reason and imagine. This volume is the first to bring together leading contemporary humanities scholarship about climate change into a single coherent setting. The chapters help us to think together about what changes in our climates mean. They show that the humanities are not simply a late-arriving appendage to Earth System science, to help merely in the work of translation. Their distinctive insights necessarily alter the ways in which the idea of climate change can be conceptualized and acted upon."</strong> –<i>Mike Hulme, King’s College London, UK</i></p>

<p><strong>"<em>A Cultural History of Climate Change</em> is a unique piece of scholarship, for it analyzes the issue of climate change from three significant perspectives: historical, literary, and political. The successful attempt to compile various views from the humanities on climate change makes this edited collection an outstanding academic achievement. The book is an important contribution to the existing scholarship on climate change [and]...will be of interest to academics and students in the fields of environmental history, ecocriticism, political science, and cultural studies, as well as to anyone who wants to learn more about history and culture of climate change."</strong> - <em>Tatiana Prorokova, University of Marburg, Germany, in the Journal of Ecological Anthropology (2018), Vol. 20 No.1</em></p>
