A History of the Theories of Rain
Description:
A History of the Theories of Rain explores the strange effect our current sense of impending doom has on our relation to time, approaching the unfolding climate catastrophe through its dissolution of the categories of "man-made" and "natural." How do we go on with our daily lives while a disastrous future impinges upon every moment?
Stephen Collis provides no easy answers and offers no simple hope. Instead, he probes our current state of anxiety with care, humour, and an unflinching gazing into the darkness we have gathered around ourselves. Asking what form a resistance to the tenor of these out-of-joint times might take, A History of the Theories of Rain explores the links between climate's "tipping points" and the borders constraining the plants, animals, and peoples forcibly displaced by a radically altered world ecology.
