ABSTRACT
This book is about people who experience dramatic changes to their environment. They are dramatic, because these changes have as yet unknown repercussions in the social communities and demand both attention and effort lest they shall be downright destructive. At a time when climate change has become a prominent object of interest in the international community and among scientists responding to the call for more knowledge, it is worth remembering that for most people, climate change is specific. It is a concrete experience of changes in the environment, of opening or closing opportunities for making a living, creating or destroying conventional forms of subsistence and production, inducing migration or technological innovation, and stretching or bending the imagined futures.
