From small disappointments to heartbreaking tragedies, unwanted change blindsides us and leaves us wondering what to do next. It might be new neighbours constantly blasting loud music late at night; it might be a technological breakthrough that leaves your business in its dust; it might be a heart attack that nearly kills you. Whatever form it takes, unwanted change requires us to adapt to a harsher environment. Like the spiders sent into space by NASA that found ways to spin their webs without the aid of gravity, we have to find ways to overcome the pitfalls that life places in our path. Drawing on inspiring stories of individuals, organizations and businesses, Spiders in Space presents a menu of adaptive traits that can help us not only survive, but thrive, when unwanted change comes our way.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left a lot of unwanted change in its wake. And while it’s not always possible to “pivot” when unwanted change comes along, there are stories of adapting during the pandemic that are both inspiring and instructive. This sequel to 2017’s Spiders in Space: Successfully Adapting to Unwanted Change presents eight new stories of adapting that all took place during the pandemic. It draws upon the adaptive traits identified in the original book while outlining a number of new ones. The goal is to suggest practical ways of dealing with unwanted change that might help make the difference between being battered by the lemons life throws at us and turning them into lemonade.

A Most Daunting Time is an epic tale of two families in the 1930s in the shadow of the Great Depression. Melvyn and Sally Bridges settled in Dodge City, Kansas, a mid-western town of renown, in 1919, and began farming. They farmed until the middle-'30s when the Dust Bowl rendered them penniless. Sally bore two sons and a daughter, the eldest of which, Mitchell, is a baseball player with remarkable skills and future ambitions. Charles Clark, an aristocratic oil tycoon, and his daughter, Holly, a "Belle of the South," live in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and have lived quite well through the hardening times. But, fate has a way of evening out odds, and little did both families know they would be brought together in unforeseen circumstances.
