Summary

Across 10 captivating chapters, Morgan Phillips recounts stories of adaptation from the air-conditioned pavements of Doha and the feral camels of Australia to the "cool rooms" of Paris and the "fog catchers" of Morocco.

These are the lesser-told stories of good, bad, ugly, and very ugly adaptation to climate change–they will be the inspirations for the positive adaptations of the future, and the forewarnings of the mal adaptations that must be avoided.

Great Adaptations is a call to action. It presses home the need for adaptations that are ecologically restorative and socially just. It examines how adaptation is framed, unpicks the contested notion of deep adaptation, explores the potential of transformative adaptation, and questions the legitimacy of the "reassuring stories" that still dominate mainstream climate discourse. It is conversational, provocative, engaging, and visually arresting–a tactile and very shareable object.
