Woven together as a text of humanities-based environmental research outcomes, Himalayan Climes and Multispecies Encounters hosts a collection of historical and fieldwork-based case studies and conceptual discussions of climate change in the greater Himalayan region.

The collective endeavour of the book is expressed in what the editors characterize as the clime studies of the Himalayan multispecies worlds. As a terrestrial concept, the individual case studies concretize the abstract concept of climate change in their place- and culturally-specific correlations of weather, climate pattern, and landscape change. Supported by empirical and historical findings, the concept in each chapter showcases climate change as clime change. As place, clime is discerned as both a recipient of and a contributor to climate change over time in the Himalayan context. It affirms climate change as multispecies encounters, as part of multifaceted cultural processes, and as ecologically-specific environmental changes in the more-than-human worlds of the Himalayas.

As the case studies complement, enrich, and converse with natural scientific understandings of Himalayan climate change, this book offers students, academics, and the interested public fresh approaches to the interdisciplinary field of climate studies and policy debates on climate change and sustainable development.

Recenzijas

"Making climate change meaningful at the local scale is a precondition for empowering local communities to deal with its consequences on their own terms. This volume illustrates how the concept of clime can help achieve this goal by viewing climate variability and change from a Himalayan multispecies perspective."

Theodore G. Shepherd, Grantham Professor of Climate Science, University of Reading, UK

This volume is a veritable tour de force in the decolonial environmental humanities. Bringing dominant climate science into conversation with everyday human experience, it compellingly centers the affective, multispecies, and situated ways that climate change is encountered and interpreted across Himalayan sites, scales, and subjects. Incisive and nuanced in its analyses, this volume is essential reading for anyone concerned with the changing natures of life, entanglement, and agency in an age of ecological unraveling.

Sophie Chao, Lecturer in Anthropology, University of Sydney, Australia

This is not just a book about the Himalayas; it's a conversation starter, a call to action, and an invitation to see the Himalayan world through a lens of multispecies encounters and shared climatic realities. The groundbreaking chapters delve into the Himalayas, not just as a physical terrain, but as a living, breathing entity shaped by diverse climates and vibrant multispecies interactions.
