How extreme events, paradoxically, sow the seeds of positive responseand create opportunities for becoming adaptive to place.
Throughout history humans have dealt with extreme events. Sometimes adaptively, coping with them, even thriving with them, reading the signalsSometimes disastrously, repeatedly, ignoring the signals. Now extreme events and disasters are increasing in frequency and severity, and the signals are difficult to read. In Fire and Flood, Thomas Princen argues that the most useful signals may be those coming from fires and floods.
And not just todays fires and floods but those of the past too. This book looks to these past events as well as present-day ones to imagineand to constructa regenerative future.
As much as some observers of the global ecological predicament would like to see extreme events as mere confirmation of climate change, their significance is much moreTo see that requires in-depth investigation of disaster response, including long-term societal response, going beyond the harm and destruction, beyond the cries for better prevention and protection. And beyond the simplistic formula that, with awareness of extreme events, the world will finally combat climate change.
Princens objective is to read extreme events as signals, as indicators of how adaptive or maladaptive are a human populations patterns of extraction, consumption, settlement, transport or, more generally, of how sustainable and just is a societys material provisioning system, its economy It is to sketch a plan for living with fire and flood, for becoming adaptive to place.
