For many, these are the last places we expect it to. The first book to establish a framework for climate change adaptation, Stone's aim is to understand how climate change is altering our lives in the present period this period of transition between the ancient, stable climate of our ancestors and the unfolding, no longer stable climate of our children and how our cities might adapt to these changes.
