  We investigate cosmological scenarios with a non-minimal derivative coupling
between the scalar field and the curvature, examining both the quintessence and
the phantom cases in zero and constant potentials. In general, we find that the
universe transits from one de Sitter solution to another, determined by the
coupling parameter. Furthermore, according to the parameter choices and without
the need for matter, we can obtain a Big Bang, an expanding universe with no
beginning, a cosmological turnaround, an eternally contracting universe, a Big
Crunch, a Big Rip avoidance and a cosmological bounce. This variety of
behaviors reveals the capabilities of the present scenario.
