New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2016. Beck introduces a new concept 'metamorphosis' to describe what is happening in our world today. Unlike change, metamorphosis does not assume that some things will remain the same. One of the main drivers of the metamorphosis of the world, Beck argues, is climate change: it is revising our entire way of being in the world, causing us to change wholescale our conceptualisation of the world and our role within it.
