Description

"[It] is increasingly clear that climate change is neither imagined nor distant--and that rising seas are transforming the coastline of the United States in irrevocable ways ... [The author] guides readers through some of the places where this change has been most dramatic, from the Gulf Coast to Miami, and from New York City to the Bay Area. For many of the plants, animals, and humans in these places, the options are stark: retreat or perish in place. Weaving firsthand accounts from those facing this choice ... with profiles of wildlife biologists, activists, and other members of the communities both currently at risk and already displaced, [this book] privileges the voices of those usually kept at the margins"--Amazon.com.
