    'We humans are adaptable creatures, perhaps too adaptable for our own good. We immediately acclimatise to any new situation or challenge.

    'Though we tend to fight the erosion of our basic rights, once they are gone we concede that it's probably for good - we suffer fire and flood, rebuild and then are surprised when it comes again a decade later - we live so fast that we only passingly notice the climate changing, and then we forget with the passing of the season. Only now, on the point of crisis, are we maintaining the rage.

    'Much of this edition echoes a poignant question: How did we get here, and what other paths might once have been open to us?' (Grant Mills, Editorial introduction)
