Mackenzie B, Reviewer
First off, huge thank you to NetGalley and the team at Rowman & Littlefield Publishers for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a book I see myself recommending time and time again in the future to friends, family, and anyone who will listen. I hate to admit I haven't read many environmental books in the past, but this one was an excellent place to start. Having studied the travel and tourism industry, the title is what really stuck out to me, and made me want to pick up this book.
Research wise, it would have been easy for Hanna to conduct interviews via phone or a video chat, but the personal connections he made over the 6 years are what brought his research to life. "Touring the Climate Crisis" is just as much a humanitarian book as it is an environmental one.
And while it is not a particularly long book, Hanna does a fantastic job of directing the reader to humanitarian/environmental crises happening across the Globe. He physically cannot write about each and everyone one of them, but he makes the reader care enough to go out and do their own research. I constantly was jotting notes down to look stuff up, which I think is a sign of a good non-fiction book.
Some sections I felt read a bit too much like an academic paper, but they never dragged on and the information provided was engaging and important. So if you are not accustomed to reading academic papers/writing, definitely do not be scared off, just maybe take a little bit more time with those sections, because they are 100% worth it!
