Reviews
'This book represents a tour-de-force of interdisciplinary applied research. Dr Sahakian investigates energy use practices in the rising nations of Southeast Asia, and uncovers startling insights and necessary proposals for tackling the conundrum of providing 'comfort' for all in the age of climate change.' - Julia Steinberger, University of Leeds, UK 'Focusing on four Asian cities, this book uses an innovative practice theory approach to interrogate a lurking but largely neglected climate-related threat - the growth in urban air conditioning. The findings form a solid basis for an urgently needed public debate on the future of indoor thermal comfort and for guarded optimism on the potential for less energy-intensive cooling options.' - Harold Wilhite, University of Oslo, Norway 'While concerns about unsustainable consumption first emerged in Europe and North America, it is apparent that Asia will be at the center of future efforts to adapt consumer practices to biophysical realities. Because of its simultaneous connections to both physical comfort and social status, air conditioning will be an especially salient regional issue. Keeping Cool in Southeast Asia is a timely and important study of the untoward interactions between societal aspirations and modern technologies.' - Maurie J. Cohen, New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA
