Robert W. Collin’s The Climate Adaptation Generation is both a call to action and a guide for living in an age of climate disruption. The book presents a comprehensive program for not only surviving but thriving amid the ecological challenges ahead.

Impasse succeeds in its aim of candidly assessing our planetary predicament and offering a realistic, ethical way forward.
