Finding Our Place in the Time of Science, Climate Change, Pandemics and All the Other Emergencies
One of the most perceptive and thought-provoking books yet written about the multiple intersecting crises that are now upending our once-familiar world. Hine demonstrates how our over-reliance on the single lens of science has blinded us 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. 224 pages
