   Flummig

   Boken handlar för mycket om författarens privatliv. Glest med information om det som är bokens syfte, dvs hur vi ska klara klimatmålen. Jag rekommenderar Wütendes Wetter av Friederike Otto istället.

   The book on climate I wish everyone would read

   In "Under the Sky We Make", Kimberly Nicholas manages to tactfully summarize the climate crisis. With her elegantly simple framework -It's warming. It's us. We're sure. It's bad. But we can fix it - Dr. Nicholas convenes the seriousness of the situation with a balance of personal anecdotes and scientific references, while delivering a sense of agency to the reader. This is the book on climate I wish everyone would read. The book stands out from other climate books in two main ways. One, the honesty and personal stories through which Dr. Nicholas tells the story of how she tries to be human in a warming world. This is a book written by a brilliant academic just as well as by what by the end of the book almost feels like a friend. It is not written from an ivory tower, but from having two feet on the ground and an open heart. The book is relatable to me, as a human, in a way that scientific articles rarely are. It's accessible, approachable, and a spark of reflection to the person who has just started realizing the seriousness of climate (or have gotten stuck in a sense of cynical doom) just as well as it's for the climate scientist. Two, Dr. Nicholas guides the reader from scientific facts on the climate crisis (without any sugarcoating, yet with personal touches and wit), to describing some major ways in which our societies maintains these unsustainable structures, finally ending up in delivering a message on how one as a reader can relate to all this - as an individual, as part of a community, as a citizen, and as a human. After all, isn't this the question we keep asking ourselves - how do we reduce our own harm, but also contribute to a better world? How can we do both, and not either or? Dr. Nicholas writes that this book was written for her friends, and it shows. This is a book for humans. This is a book for *my* friends, for *my* family, and for me. By continuing from "it's warming, it's us, it's bad" to "we can fix it" in a personal and human language, Nicholas has written a book that I wish everyone would read. I cannot recommend it enough. Perfekt sommarläsning!

   Best book on climate and what to do about it

   This is a wonderful book: practical science at its very best. It's easy to read, full of personal stories, down-to-earth, practical, comprehensive - and funny. Buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy - I can't see you regretting it.

   Personlig bok om mänskligehetens ödesfråga

   Att genom personliga reflektioner kunna tydliggöra allvaret i klimatkrisen, och med djup kunskap i klimatvetenskap filosofiskt visa hur vi kan ändra våra beteenden för att lyckas räta upp den här sjunkande skutan innan det är för sent.
