FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

THE CROSSROADS of SOCIAL and CLIMATE JUSTICE An Exploration of Issues & Solutions for Planet and People This book is a non-fiction intersectional journey merging the environment with social justice issues. It is based on many months of research, interviews and experiential influence. It addresses some issues that throw light on a few "elephants in the room." This intersection of people and climate is an opportunity to understand and call forth action to change something rather than "shove it under the rug." The issues and solutions can be a resource that can evolve into career opportunities, community collaborations, volunteer endeavors, a resource directory and more.

Review

"LaVerne's work, as both author and a workshop presenter, plumbs the depths where powerful forces and subtlety meet to ring true." Dr. Nancy Louise Knapp, Ed.D. Speaking from one voice, the Monterey Peace and Justice board members praise LaVerne's tremendous work to help dismantle racism and advance climate justice. Confronting one's own biases, privileges, and internalized racism and climate injustices can be difficult, yet in this book and workshops, LaVerne creates a "safe space" in which hard truths are presented.Catherine Crockett, President, Monterey Peace and Justice Center Ms. McLeod's book takes on the challenge of integrating the effects of global change on the environment at large-increasing temperatures, sea level rise, increased fire danger, reduction in agricultural production and other effects-with social justice issues that spell out the differential levels of these stressors on different groups of people. She has truly done her homework in creating this synthetic analysis! This is a synthesis that has been begging to be done, and Ms. McLeod has more than risen to this task. Dr. George Somero, The David and Lucille Packard Professor of Marine Science Emeritus currently working at Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station
