A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety and the Existential Toolkit

"Carefully and clearly written . . . Highly recommended." -- CHOICE "Synthesises . . . a series of strategies that can help people of any age to play the long game of fighting for climate justice." -- Australian Journal of Environmental Education "Even the most senior, experienced educators among us . . . will find something new or provocative for their teaching methods. Dig in." -- Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment "Educators who are daunted by their students' climate anxiety, despair, or outrage, and instructors who feel like throwing up their hands at the complexity of what it means to teach well in the polycrisis, will find many of their concerns addressed . . . chock full of pedagogical interventions you can try in the classroom."--Britt Wray, author of Generation Dread "We must better equip students for this time of trouble and transformation. Here, you'll find approaches to do so in abundance."--Katharine K. Wilkinson, coeditor of All We Can Save and lead writer of Drawdown "The way I think, teach, and feel about climate change has been permanently and positively altered by the extraordinary wisdom embodied in this powerful work of deep reflection, care, and healing."--David N. Pellow, author of What Is Critical Environmental Justice? "It would be foolish not to freak out over climate change. But it would be sad if that despair kept you from working hard on this crisis, not to mention enjoying life on what is still a beautiful planet. This book has some wise strategies for finding a useful balance."--Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
