My new book, Universities on Fire, is now in the world

Today is a good day for me.  My new book, Universities on Fire: Higher Education in the Climate Crisis, is now published.  It’s my Johns Hopkins University monograph on how colleges and universities might be impacted by climate change for the rest of the century, and what academics may be able to do.

It took me years to research, write, revise, and see this new title into print and ebook. I’m grateful to you, dear reader, for helping it come to life with your comments and support as I blogged the process.

There’s a little website for the book with some more information.  You can order copies of Universities on Fire from the great publisher, Johns Hopkins University Press, as well as from Amazon, Bookshop.org, and even Barnes and Noble.

Here’s the table of contents:

Introduction: Academia Wades into the Anthropocene I: Universities on fire, underwater  1. Uprooting the Campus  2. Doing Research in the Anthropocene  3. Teaching to the End of the World II: The world, the college, and the global emergency  4 . The Transformation of Town and Gown   5. Academia in the World III Choices for universities in a world on fire  6. Best Case and Worst Case  7. What Is to Be Done

I will keep writing, speaking, researching, and doing more on this topic.  More to come!

Many thanks to the great Johns Hopkins University Press editorial team for making this possible.
