Possibly the most amazing news of my life: I'm writing a book on extreme heat for Crown Publishing in the US and Picador Books in the UK. SWELTER is about thermal inequality, the history of heat, and the fate of our bodies in a swiftly warming world.



My essay on the history of the earth sciences from 'the South' is now available in the new Springer Handbook for the Historiography of the Earth and Environmental Sciences. It's one of the first to go up and fully open-access so please consider reading: link.springer.com/referenceworke…
