We have reached a turning point in our development as a species. In the coming decades we face significant global challenges in terms of climate change, biodiversity, food and water resources and violent extremism. At the local level, these seem like crazy times, with the speed of change accelerating faster than ever.

In rEvolution, Bill Lucas puts forward suggestions on some of the ways we can all succeed in today's complex world. In the coming decades, we face significant global challenges in terms of climate change, biodiversity, food and water resources and violent extremism. 150 years after Charles Darwin invented the concept of natural selection, Bill argues that the rules of evolution are changing. To thrive in our current crazy world we need a new kind of "mind-ware." Specifically, we need to develop our adaptive intelligence.

Drawing on new and emerging sciences and using approaches previously applied in other domains, this book describes some of the practical steps we can take at home, at school, in the workplace and in the wide community around us to ensure that we can constantly adapt to new circumstances. Bill's analysis, optimism, and suggestions for practical learning make this an essential addition to the book shelf of all thoughtful questioning members of our species.
