The water will come : rising seas, sinking cities, and the remaking of the civilized world / Jeff Goodell. - New York : Little, Brown and Company, 2018. - 352 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm
By century's end, hundreds of millions of people will be retreating from the world's shores. Nuclear reactors will be decommissioned. The greatest cities in human history, abandoned. This is the story of our rising seas. In a shocking cover story for Rolling Stone, Jeff Goodell predicted that within the lifetime of many of the readers of this book, Miami as we know it today will vanish. This is not a reckless hypothesis. From island nations to the world's major metropolises, our coasts will drown in the rising waters, which will soon inundate and transform our landscapes. There is no simple way to protect ourselves from this fate - no barriers to erect, no walls to build - to prevent the iconic cities of our time from becoming modern Atlantises. This title is the definitive account of why this will happen, how this will happen, and what it will mean.
