Natural Consequences is a collection of forty-two environmental essays by Char Miller, Professor of Environmental Analysis & History at Pomona College in Southern California. These essays variously encourage readers to get out in nature, to take a hike and restore our relationship to the land in order to better recognize the challenges of climate change. Collected into six sections, these personal narratives explore the threats of fire, drought, development, and fracking. From personal experiences in his Southern California neighborhood or through his travels as a professor, Char Miller explores how the dominant culture affects the environment and the results of environmental injustice. His thoughtful vignettes and fascinating historical interpretations clearly lay out our challenges. Willing to admit his own role in our worldwide crisis, Char Miller's essays offer local, regional, and global solutions to reduce the natural consequences of our actions.
