"Given the persistent, potent, and problematic environmental dilemmas confronting civilization, it is timely to wrestle with the topic of culture and its intersections with sustainability. Professor Stephenson previously forged new understandings with the Energy Cultures Framework, and in this extended masterpiece she doesn’t disappoint. It’s an addictively readable, smart synthesis of hundreds of academic studies that offers novel insights into how culture shapes our future."
