Beschreibung
It's warming. It's us. We're sure. It's bad. But we can fix it.

After speaking to the international public for close to fifteen years about sustainability, climate scientist Dr. Nicholas realized that concerned people were getting the wrong message about the climate crisis. Yes, companies and governments are hugely responsible for the mess we're in. But individuals CAN effect real, significant, and lasting change to solve this problem. Nicholas explores finding purpose in a warming world, combining her scientific expertise and her lived, personal experience in a way that seems fresh and deeply urgent: Agonizing over the climate costs of visiting loved ones overseas, how to find low-carbon love on Tinder, and even exploring her complicated family legacy involving supermarket turkeys.

In her astonishing book Under the Sky We Make, Nicholas does for climate science what Michael Pollan did more than a decade ago for the food on our plate: offering a hopeful, clear-eyed, and somehow also hilarious guide to effecting real change, starting in our own lives. Saving ourselves from climate apocalypse will require radical shifts within each of us, to effect real change in our society and culture. But it can be done. It requires, Dr. Nicholas argues, belief in our own agency and value, alongside a deep understanding that no one will ever hand us power--we're going to have to seize it for ourselves.

Über den Autor
Dr. Kimberly Nicholas is Associate Professor of Sustainability Science at Lund, Sweden's highest-ranked university.

Zusammenfassung
A MEDIA STAR: Dr. Kimberly Nicholas' research has been covered in The New York Times, The Atlantic, NBC, The Washington Post, USA Today, and Buzzfeed, and she has been profiled in Elle and The Guardian. She's also been a go-to guest for live BBC interviews on breaking climate news such as when Trump announced plans to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

ALL-STAR CONNECTIONS: Nicholas has a slew of high priority connections to help blurb and promote Under the Sky We Make: Greta Thunberg, The Atlantic science writer Ed Young, TIME100 climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe, Caitlin Doughty, Carmen Maria Machado, and many more.

NO ONE IS WRITING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE LIKE THIS: While Nicholas is a leading expert on climate science, her unique, conversational voice will appeal to a wide demographic invested in the future of humankind-whether they're mothers, nature lovers, or simply people who have empathy.

UNIVERSAL URGENCY OF THE ISSUE: Readers are reminded every day that climate change is wreaking havoc on the planet, with far reaching consequences. It's an issue that people are no longer ignoring and are looking to become active participants in the effort to combat.

ACTIVE PUBLIC SPEAKER: Nicholas is a frequent speaker giving around 50 lectures each year, ranging for keynotes for 500 business leaders to talks at music festivals, museums, press clubs, protests, science communication competitions, and primary and secondary schools.
