Summary, etc.:
The most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it-- and Hayhoe wants to teach you how. She argues that when it comes to changing hearts and minds, facts are only one part of the equation. We need to find shared values in order to connect our unique identities to collective action. Drawing on interdisciplinary research and personal stories, Hayhoe leaves us with the tools to open a dialogue with your loved ones about how we all can play a role in pushing forward for change. -- adapted from jacket.
