The Ark in Space is a work of political philosophy, set in the context of man's exploitation of planet Earth to fulfil his various needs. The work offers a hypothesis - that planet Earth has a finite capacity to sustain man's manipulation of his environment as he pursues his inexorable drive to enrich himself. On the basis of this hypothesis the work suggests that the political consequences of planet Earth only having a finite productive capacity relative to what man may desire in terms of its output has implications that entail revisiting and reappraising the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. The hypothesis in order to resonate employs a metaphor designed to encapsulate the suggested finite ability of planet Earth to accommodate the ever increasing demands that man places upon it to facilitate the 'good life'. The metaphor envisages Earth as an Ark in Space. It is designed to condense our thinking about the ability of the planet to sustain man's manipulation of it to suit his consumptive needs. Planet Earth, the Ark in Space is the common good which must be sustained through combined and concerted fraternal action, driven by a philosophy of conservation as opposed to consumption.

The Ark in Space is a work of political philosophy, set in the context of man's exploitation of planet Earth to fulfil his various needs. The work offers a hypothesis - that planet Earth has a finite capacity to sustain man's manipulation of his environment as he seeks to consume ever more and thus wield the natural assets of the planet to this end. The hypothesis suggests that the over exploitation of planet Earth's productive capacity in some way contributes to malignant Climate Change. The work suggests that political consequences stem from the hypothesis of planet Earth's finite productive capacity. These entail revisiting and reappraising the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. The hypothesis in order to resonate employs a metaphor designed to encapsulate the suggested finite ability of planet Earth to accommodate the ever increasing demands that man places upon it to facilitate his consumerist tendency. The metaphor envisages Earth as an Ark in Space. It is designed to condense our thinking about the ability of the planet to sustain man's manipulation of it to suit his acquisitive inclination. Planet Earth, the Ark in Space is the common good which must be sustained through combined and concerted fraternal action, driven by a philosophy of conservation as opposed to consumption.

Avoiding The Armageddon Factor: Justice in an Age of Conservation is a work of political philosophy. It is written as a follow up to The Ark in Space - A Political Philosophy with a Green Agenda. It accepts the premise of the former work in assuming Planet Earth has a finite capacity to tolerate man's exploitation of the environment to satiate his needs. Also assumed as a pretext for the work is the related notion that man driven 'over production' of the planet's natural wares and manipulation of the environment is in some way contributing to possibly lethal climate change. The first part of the provocative title of this work Avoiding the Armageddon Factor, refers to the 'Armageddon' or 'catastrophic conflict' of planet Earth experiencing the environmental fallout of man encouraged/induced climate change. This work assumes that the latter has been caused by the philosophy that man must consume ever more. Avoiding the 'Armageddon' implies the advocation of a global philosophy of conservation which is both just and fair. Conservation is an issue of political justice because it implies for want of a better term a cost or a burden which must be met by the concerted action of man. Justice in an Age of Conservation, the second part of the title of this work thus explores the idea of a fair model of distributive justice. This work conceives of the Earth as a 'global theatre' in which man has been allotted his 'seat'. The analogy is explored to examine how as a species man fashions his collective seat and asks whether he ought to reappraise his proprietorial attitude to his 'seat' in the theatre and indeed towards the global theatre itself.

Writing explicitly about interracial homosexual sex makes many people uneasy. Adams celebrates the sexual connections across the American great divide of race that he made during two particularly interesting epochs of modern American gay history.
