Change is a normal process of life, both in nature and in societies. Global change refers to natural change, subject to immutable physical laws, and it is absolute: protesting a landslide or rising temperature are futile, we must accept them and adapt our decisions and behaviour accordingly. Global transformations refer to all changes in the human realm without deterministic laws but following human-declared quasi-laws. Human laws are not absolute, we can change them, and we can complain about and protest them - sometimes successfully. This book looks at the human component behind both processes, focusing on resources (with the example of ubiquity of water) and ruptures in society (e.g. poverty, segregation, terrorism) and a short update. A key element is the chapter on spirituality, showing how humans perceive the world and act in an irrational way.
