David Haberman has just published a book with Indiana University Press titled Understanding Climate Change through Religious Lifeworlds, which presents a unique collection of ethnographic essays by a group of international scholars that detail how the effects of human-caused climate change are actively reshaping religious ideas and practices from the low-lying islands of the South Pacific to the glacial mountains of Peru and the Indian Himalayas, even as religious communities endeavor to bring their traditions to bear on mounting climate challenges. Haberman edited the volume, wrote the introduction, and contributed a chapter on climate related disasters in the central Himalayas.
