This Melville House edition (2015) presents the complete text of Laudato Si', Pope Francis's encyclical subtitled On Care for Our Common Home, with an introduction by the Harvard historian of science Naomi Oreskes. Addressed to every person on the planet, the encyclical calls climate change a global problem demanding urgent action and links the degradation of the environment to the plight of the poor. Francis criticizes a throwaway culture and calls for an integral ecology that unites care for nature with justice for people.
