Silent Spring
Buy Silent Spring by Rachel Carson on Amazon
there was a lot of work on this there was the famous book Silent Spring and then it kind of all in the late 60s 1970 in the first Earth Day came to a head where one in 10 Americans came out in the into the streets in the first Earth Day in 1970 and said we just can't live like this anymore this has to stop
Jason Bordoff mentions the famous book "Silent Spring" while discussing the history of the environmental movement.
The Sun Also Rises
Buy The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway on Amazon
Ernest Hemingway once wrote of a character in one of his books who was asked how he went bankrupt and the character replied in two ways gradually and then all of a sudden and I think Brinkley's book really shows how history tells us climate action might proceed along a similar course as we see you know temperature indexes combinations of temperature and and humidity indexes that are the summer broaching the limits of human survival
Jason Bordoff references Ernest Hemingway and quotes a line from one of his books ("The Sun Also Rises") to illustrate how environmental change can happen gradually and then suddenly.
