The weight of nature : how a changing climate changes our brains / Clayton Page Aldern. by Aldern, Clayton Page, 1990- author. New York : Dutton, [2024] Subjects Human beings -- Effect of climate on.   Climatic changes -- Health aspects.   Brain -- Evolution. ISBN:  9780593472743 (hardcover) : 0593472748 (hardcover) : Description:  320 pages ; 24 cm Requests:  3 Summary:  "The march of climate change is stunning and vicious, with rising seas, extreme weather, and oppressive heat blanketing the globe. But its effects on our very brains constitute a public-health crisis that has gone largely unreported. Based on seven years of research, this book by the award-winning journalist and trained neuroscientist Clayton Page Aldern, synthesizes the emerging neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics of global warming and brain health. A masterpiece of literary journalism, this book shows readers how a changing environment is changing us today, from the inside out. Adern calls it the weight of nature. Hotter temperatures make it harder to think clearly and problem-solve. They increase the chance of impulsive violence. Immigration judges are more likely to reject asylum applications on hotter days. Umpires, to miss calls. Air pollution, heatwaves, and hurricanes can warp and wear on memory, language, and sensory systems; wildfires seed PTSD. And climate-fueled ecosystem changes extend the reach of brain-disease carriers like mosquitos, brain-eating amoebas, and the bats that brought us the mental fog of long COVID. How we feel about climate change matters deeply; but this is a book about much more than climate anxiety. As Aldern richly details, it is about the profound, direct action of global warming on our brains and behaviorand the most startling portrait yet of unforeseen environmental influences on our minds. From farms in the San Joaquin Valley and public schools across the United States to communities in Norways Arctic, the Micronesian islands, and the French Alps, this book is an unprecedented portrait of a global crisis we thought we understood."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 304.28 Al Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 304.28 Aldern Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   On Order   Add Copy to MyList
