Aprašymas
In this book redolent with wit and wisdom, science writer William Sargent, travels from Plum Island in Northern Massachusetts to the winter White House on Palm Beach Florida, to explore our sinking shore. What he finds is a country that has not learned the lessons of Katrina, Sandy, Harvey, Irma and Maria.
The United States has no coherent coastal policy so our seaboard is a checkerboard of states that have compounded the problem by encouraging homeowners to rebuild on the exactly same footprint as before beside other states that have relocated entire communities to higher ground.
The book tells this story of sea level rise through the eyes of the lawyers, scientists, homeowners, and even the President and other officials who are grappling with a problem that gets worse with every major storm.
