changes currently occurring around the globe; and the unique methodological and epistemological tools anthropologists
bring to bear on climate research. Part two includes a series of case studies that highlights leading-edge research�including
some unexpected and provocative findings. Part three challenges scholars to be proactive on the front lines of
climate change, providing instruction on how to work in with research communities, with innovative forms of communication,

knowledge to effective actions, Anthropology and Climate Change is essential for students and scholars in anthropology
and environmental studies.
