When The Seas Rise By Jeff Goodell When The Seas Rise: Global Changes And Local Impacts

In When The Seas Rise, acclaimed climate scientist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Jeff Goodell reports from the front lines of the rising seas, the melting ice caps, and the impending threats to our coastal communities--the places where half the world's population lives.

Goodell travels to low-lying cities like Miami, New Orleans, and Bangladesh, and to remote islands like the Maldives, where he witnesses the devastating effects of climate change firsthand. He talks to scientists, engineers, and policymakers who are working to find solutions to the climate crisis, and he investigates the policies and technologies that could help us avoid the worst effects of sea level rise.

When The Seas Rise is a powerful and urgent wake-up call about the climate crisis, and a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of our planet.
