Climate change can be countered by two strategies, which include mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation addresses the causes of climate change, whereas adaptation addresses the consequences. Adaptation is the process of making changes in response to climate change. Mitigation is human interference for decreasing the sources of greenhouse gas emissions, to prevent a rise in temperatures. Adaptation focuses on seeking appropriate measures to prevent the impact of climate change. It is quite difficult to forecast adaptation solutions since they differ from place to place and consist of several trade-offs. The first stage in adapting climate change is to understand the local risks and devise strategies for managing them. The next step is to implement systems to respond to the effects being experienced in the present while preparing for the uncertainty in the future. This book provides comprehensive insights on climate mitigation and adaptation. It strives to provide a fair idea about climate change and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances in its management. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.

Climate change refers to the long-term changes in weather patterns and temperature. These changes can be caused by natural processes, like variations in the solar cycle. The main cause of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil. Some of the prominent environmental impacts of climate change are the expansion of deserts and an increase in the frequency of wildfires. Climate change threatens people with water and food shortage, extreme heat, economic loss, and flooding. There are two approaches to strategically manage the hazards associated with climate change. These include the mitigation of greenhouse gases, which decreases the severity and frequency of climate hazards; and adaptation to climate change, which helps in decreasing the vulnerability to a specific climate hazard or hazards. This book contains some path-breaking studies on climate change. From theories to research to practical applications, studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to the management of climate change have been included herein. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.

This study explores C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia using the lens of the rhetorical theory of epideictic rhetoric. Epideictic has been defined as the rhetoric of praise and blame; it is said to reinforce adherence to the values it lauds. C. S. Lewis was concerned that children were no longer being introduced to the values, stories, and characters of what he called "Old Western Culture". He set out to pass them on to a new generation by retelling the stories in new contexts. The analysis of the Chronicles of Narnia appears after chapters that chronicle the history of epideictic rhetoric, discuss epideictic theory as the rhetoric of assent, and apply semiotic and reading theory to explain the young reader's participatory experience.

In He Will Be Our Guide, Dale & Sheryl Sullivan take the reader on a tour of 1970s highs, from a few years drugging to a lifetime adventure with Jesus. If you need encouragement that Jesus is alive and real, you need to read their book. Steve Simms, Author of Beyond Church and Off the RACE Track.
