Content

Representatives of various disciplines outline the disorientation in a world confronted with climate change. Mapping the land they want to inhabit, they discover not the globe, not the iconic “Blue Planet,” but a series of Critical Zones – disparate, diverse, volatile.

This is the abridged version of the English title »Critical Zones. The Science and Politics of Landing on Earth«, published in summer 2020 by The MIT Press, Cambrige, MA.
