Rezensionen

"Ervin's personal engagement as both a scholar and activist adds authenticity and depth to the discourse which reflects a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary perspectives. This makes the book accessible not only to academics in environmental studies, political science, and anthropology but also to policymakers, activists, and students seeking to understand and address climate change comprehensively."
