Purchase options and add-ons

Across ten captivating and beautifully illustrated 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, pocket-sized and very shareable object.
- Published in time for the global UN climate summit in Glasgow (COP26)
- Presents a unique stance on climate adaptation
- Timely publication with ever growing publicity on the climate crisis

    Reviewed in France on November 19, 2023
    I did not find this book particularly interesting. The author makes the point that adaptation is a bit neglected in climate change discussions (compared to mitigation), a valid and important point, but repeating it on every page in a 200 pages book quickly gets very annoying. Most of the arguments made are classical strawmen, there is essentially no data or analysis presented to support statements being made. It is mostly a naive propaganda book for a part of the environmental movement.
