Rústica. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Este es el primer libro que revela cómo, en la actualidad, ya hay profesionales de distintos sectores que están empezando a colaborar incorporando en su trabajo y en sus vidas la aceptación de un colapso social probable o inminente. . Esta corriente social y cultural, llamada Adaptación Profunda, se ocupa de los cambios personales y colectivos que podrían ayudar a nuestras sociedades a prepararnos para una ruptura o un colapso como consecuencia del clima. . Los autores de esta obra parten de la premisa de que nuestros actuales sistemas económicos, sociales y políticos no podrán ser resilientes al cambio climático y, como respuesta a esta asunción, describen una serie de alternativas solidarias y creativas mediante las cuales la gente está proponiendo respuestas al desafío más difícil que la humanidad haya tenido que afrontar jamás. . La corriente Adaptación Profunda ofrece un marco de apoyo transversal y multidisciplinar para responder a la aterradora realidad de la creciente perturbación climática. El compromiso de este movimiento está dirigido a reducir el sufrimiento colectivo al tiempo que salvamos lo máximo posible de la sociedad y del mundo natural. . Editado por el creador del concepto de Adaptación Profunda, Jem Bendell, y un destacado activista, pensador y estratega climático, Rupert Read, este libro es la introducción esencial al concepto, la práctica y el movimiento mundial emergente de Adaptación Profunda al actual caos climático. . Este es el momento adecuado para un libro, como este, que discuta las diversas implicaciones de anticipar el colapso social. Adaptación profunda es una agenda y un marco para responder al potencial, probable o inevitable colapso de las sociedades industriales de consumo debido a los impactos directos o indirectos del cambio climático y de la degradación ambiental causados por los humanos.
