If you are looking for someone that will speak truth to power, then definitely consider Learning to Die in the Anthropocene, by Roy Scranton. It’s a little book, only about 100 pages long, but he makes the case very eloquently that civilization as we know it is already dead. If we can accept this, then we can use the remaining time to build something for the future that will live. If your students don’t get angry after reading it, they should probably drop the class.

Approaches grounded in analyzing and/or shifting worldviews and philosophies are especially appreciated. The IPCC report is clearly essential reading. In the past, we've read Kolbert's Sixth Extinction, Balmford's Wild Hope, Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything, Dale Jamieson's Reason in Dark Time. What's new, exciting, and comprehensive that should be included this spring? I will compile the list and share it back to this listserve.
