The aims of the series are two-fold: to pinpoint essential concepts and to offer insights that stimulate critical thinking. How can we adapt to reduce the adverse effects of climate change on humanity and the environment? In this enlightening book, Ian Noble outlines the history of adaptation, new ways of adapting and how approaches to mitigation and adaptation are changing. Looking at how we have thought about the joint roles of mitigating our emissions and adapting to changed climates to avoid suffering, the book presents adaptation from both scholars' and practitioners' viewpoints and draws upon the experience of those most affected. Turning to the future, it maps potential ways forward and the challenges of adaptation in a world beset by other crises, both natural and political.Key Features:Explores the ways adaptation could be financedTakes up the current debate on transformative adaptationAssesses how adaptation can be incorporated in future climate actionAnalyses topics such as insurance and recompensing people for losses and damages from extreme weather eventsThis is an essential read for scholars and students of geography, politics and public policy, the environment, and sociology. It will also be invaluable to practitioners in risk management and climate compliance, alongside mitigation specialists, legal professionals in climate litigation and journalists reporting on climate issues.

Packed with more than 200 colour illustrations, Visual Research explores a range of research methods that can be used by graphic designers and visual communicators in the development of clear and purposeful design solutions. The book introduces key terms and theories that underlie design research; examining the importance of visual grammar and design literacy, audience, communication theory and semiotics. Each chapter features case studies that demonstrate how the use of research methods can form the basis of effective visual communication and design problem solving, eschewing end product analysis for a discussion of the way research feeds into the design process. The third edition features new case studies in each chapter, updated design exercises and a new chapter on design-led tools and information design methods, in relation to both print and on-screen design.
