Inhaltsangabe

An anthropological study of how Americans view global warming and other environmental changes, drawing on interviews and surveys of the general public as well as members of groups ranging from Earth First! to laid-off Oregon sawmill workers. Among the findings are that the public and scientists have completely different understandings of some critical environmental problems and proposed policy solutions, that environmental values have already become intertwined with other American values, and that an environmental view of the world is more universal than previous studies have suggested. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Reseña del editor

How do Americans view environmental issues? From EarthFirst! members to sawmill workers, this study by a team of cognitive anthropologists offers both good and bad news for those addressing environmental issues in the public arena. On the one hand it reveals surprising similarities in the way different groups of Americans view long-term global environmental change, and on the other it shows that Americans have serious misunderstandings about these issues, which skews public support for policies.
