The Diary of a Discarded Academic: : An Incitement to Rebellion in the Age of Tr

Description: The Diary of a Discarded Academic by Wandering Meadowlark Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Reality is real, and so is the climate crisis. After the election of Trump, time is weighing heavy upon us all, with each day of the news cycle an eternity, and it is clear at last now that nothing will change without desperate efforts. This book is an intense and emotional effort to shift the path we all are on, to reframe the way we are in the world. Its method is to connect the personal with the political, to draw upon the politics of personal experience to reveal and reflect upon the larger dynamics that are destroying the earth. Wandering Meadowlark takes a series of crises--a hailstorm, the election of Trump, a career in crisis, and the moral crisis of his family and religion--and uses them to interpret the climate crisis. His story starts with how a hailstorm crept up on him while he was in the field, using it as a metaphor for how the climate crisis is creeping up on us, with the devastation afterwards suggesting our future. He argues that all of us, and especially his profession, political science, are failing to respond to the gathering signs of the climate crisis. This is not an easy book to read, since it describes both desperate depression and intense anger, but that is the point: Current efforts are not enough. Meadowlark calls upon us to recognize our desperate reality, and do what must be done to give todays children the future they deserve. Author Biography Wandering Meadowlark is an environmental activist, farmer, and discarded academic from Montana. He has tried everything prim and proper to stop the climate crisis--politely testifying to the legislature, tempered letters to the editor, and even a lawsuit or two that werent quite so tempered. Then Donald Trump became president. At wits end, desperate beyond all measure, knowing that none of this will end well without dramatic risk, Meadowlark decided to try something that isnt so prim or proper. He decided to tell the truth about his life as an academic.
