  The Ultraview Effect - What We...

  What astronauts' extraordinary experiences of awe and humility teach us about humanity. What is it like to stand in the shadow of Earth and the Moon and look out at the vastness of the Milky Way? To confront a view so grand it cannot be reproduced in a photo? These are the questions space anthropologist Deana L. Weibel asked as she interviewed astronauts and others in the space community. What they told her was not just surprising but also deeply moving. When gazing into star fields not fully visible from Earth, these astronauts experienced a profound sense of humility that fundamentally transformed their understanding of humanity. Welcome to the ultraview effect. The ultraview effect expands on the classic "overview effect." Comparing spacefarers to religious pilgrims, Weibel suggests that this experience of deep humility is a generative reaction to awe, which inspires exploration and adventure. When facing the vastness of the universe, acknowledging our monumental ignorance is what drives our will to discover. A fascinating dive into science, cognition, and spirituality, The Ultraview Effect draws from astronauts' own accounts to make the case that continued human space exploration is not only a scientifically essential endeavor but also a culturally enriching one.

  Canada and Climate Change

  Pandemics, massive earthquakes, war, and other catastrophes inspire immediate action because their casualties and destruction are immediately visible. Climate change is an unyielding problem because its long-range dangers are hidden, and thus it is a global risk unlike anything in human experience
  		 
  The federal government recently announced aggressive climate targets for Canada. We have committed to producing net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, which will require major changes for our economy and way of life. Canadian citizens need to understand why our most distinguished climate scientists and our senior political leaders think that we must meet this target. Canada and Climate Change explains the importance of policies that will ensure we meet the net-zero emissions target. William Leiss provides a firm grasp on what climate change is and how scientists have described shifts in the earth’s climate as they have occurred over hundreds of millions of years and as they are likely to occur in the near future, especially by the end of this century.
  		 
  Leiss argues that citizens have a right to place their trust in what climate scientists tell us. Canada and Climate Change is an essential primer on where we stand on the issue of climate change in Canada and what will unfold in the years ahead.
