This book investigates autonomous adaptation using a multi-method technique comprising PRA and a questionnaire survey applied in the case study area ‘Islampur’ \u003ci\u003eUpazila\u003c\/i\u003e in Bangladesh. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe study has four key approaches. First, it reviews the flood literature for Bangladesh from 1980 to 2014. Second, it examines farmers' crop adaptation processes in a case study area at Islampur, Bangladesh. Third, it assesses the vulnerability and adaptation (V \u0026amp; A) in response to three extreme flood events (EFEs). Fourth, the book assesses the economic consequences of failure effects of autonomous crop adaptation in response to EFEs. The results show that Bangladeshi farmers are highly resilient to EFEs, but the economic consequences of failure effects of autonomous crop adaptation (FEACA) on marginal farmers are large. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book contributes to current knowledge by filling three important research gaps as follows, 1) farmers’ autonomous crop adaptation processes in response to various types of extreme floods; 2) methodological contribution for assessing vulnerability and adaptation through PRA; and 3) the economic consequences of the failure effects of autonomous crop adaptations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThis book provides a good account of ‘autonomous adaptation’ and its impact on fl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eood vulnerable communities in Bangladesh.
