Why would someone who cares so deeply about ecological destruction want to stop talking about climate change now? At Work in the Ruins explores that question. 'Climate change asks us questions that climate science cannot answer,' Dougald says.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuestions like, how did we end up in this mess? Is it just a piece of bad luck with atmospheric chemistry - or is it the result of a way of approaching the world that would always have brought us to such a pass? How we answer such questions also has consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough our over-reliance on the single lens of science, Dougald writes that we are blinded to the nature of the crises around and ahead of us, leading to 'solutions' that can only make things worse. At Work in the Ruins is his reckoning with the strange years we have been living through and our long history of asking too much of science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe offers guidance by standing firmly forward and facing the depth of the trouble we are in, to ultimately, helps us find the work that is worth doing, even in the ruins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstone's Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44207608037613,"sku":"9781645021841","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781645021841.jpg?v=1692027314","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781645021841","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
