More Than a Decade of Publishing on Climate Change
It’s the first Throwback Thursday of April. Later this month, we’ll celebrate Earth Day. Did you know that Columbia University Press has been a leading publisher on the topics of Climate Change and other environmental issues for over a decade? Our acclaimed books by Michael E. Mann, Naomi Oreskes, Erik Conway, Jeffrey D. Sachs, and others communicate complex and controversial issues to both open and resistant audiences, spurring readers to think and act to counter the climate crisis. Be sure to check our blog this week for excerpts and author interviews related to our newest books on climate change. For now, we hope you enjoy this list of books that have stood the test of time.
