GEPED Folks: We have previously announced that this is forthcoming, but now, in case any of you are thinking of Fall course adoptions for climate policy, politics and related theme courses, Shannon and I are happy to tell you that our edited collection on Reframing Climate Change has now indeed come forth:
Shannon O'Lear and Simon Dalby eds *Reframing Climate Change; Towards Ecological Geopolitics* (Routledge) "The volume draws from multiple perspectives and disciplines to cover a broad scope of climate change. Chapter topics range from climate science and security to climate justice and literacy. Although these familiar concepts are widely used by scholars and policy-makers, they are discussed here as frequently problematic when used as lenses through which to study climate change. Beyond merely reviewing current trends within these different approaches to climate change, the collection offers a thoughtful assessment of these approaches with an eye towards an overarching reconsideration of the current understanding of our relationship to climate change. *Reframing Climate Change* is an essential resource for students, policy-makers, and anyone interested in understanding more about this important topic. Who decides what the priorities are? Who benefits from these priorities, and what kinds of systems or actions are justified or hindered? The key contribution of the book is the outlining of ecological geopolitics as a different way of understanding human–environment relationships including and beyond climate change issues."
