"Extreme Cities is a ground-breaking investigation of the vulnerability of our cities in an age of climate chaos." – Bill McKibben, author and founder of 350.org
Ashley Dawson is a professor of English at the City University of New York, and the author of Extinction: A Radical History.
Books on climate change are a dime a dozen now, but few, if any,
truly reckon with the potential scale of the disasters that await.
Dawson reveals the inadequacies of current plans to deal with the
problems that cities around the world will face. Forget such
buzzwords as 'green cities,' 'resilience,' and 'sustainable
development' — the age of 'disaster communism' is here.
