Beyond climate breakdown :envisioning new stories of radical hope
"Despite enormous scientific and media attention focused on the topic, real progress against climate change has been frustratingly slow. Why?

Selling the American people :advertising, optimization, and the origins of Ad…

The scientific attitude :defending science from denial, fraud, and pseudoscie…
An argument that what makes science distinctive is its emphasis on evidence and scientists' willingness to change theories on the basis of new evidence. Attacks on science have become commonplace.
