In \u003ci\u003eClimate Stewardship: Taking Collective Action to Protect California\u003c\/i\u003e, readers are invited on a journey to discover that all life is interconnected and shaped by climate and to learn how communities can help tackle climate change. \n\n\u003ci\u003eClimate Stewardship\u003c\/i\u003e shares stories from everyday people and shows how their actions enhance the resilience of communities and ecosystems across ten distinct bioregions. Climate science that justifies these actions is woven throughout, making it easy to learn about Earth's complex systems. The authors interpret and communicate these stories in a way that is enjoyable, inspiring, and even amusing. \n\nCalifornia is uniquely positioned to develop and implement novel solutions to widespread climate challenges, owing to the state's remarkable biogeographic diversity and robust public science programmes. Produced in collaboration with the UC California Naturalist Program, \u003ci\u003eClimate Stewardship\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on regenerative approaches to energy, agriculture, and land and water use across forested, agricultural, and urban landscapes. The authors' hopeful and encouraging tone aims to help readers develop a sense that they, too, can act now to make meaningful change in their communities.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854254526700,"sku":"9780520378940","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7009733482373.jpg?v=1759238859"},{"product_id":"the-california-naturalist-handbook-second-edition-by-adina-merenlender-9780520412712","title":"The California Naturalist Handbook, Second Edition","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe go-to guide to California's natural history, now updated with fresh insights on stewardship for a changing climate and diverse naturalist perspectives.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe California Naturalist Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e offers a fun, science-based introduction to California's natural history, emphasising observation, discovery, communication, and stewardship.
