Produktbeschreibung
A beautiful and engaging guide to global warming's impact around the world Our planet is in peril. Seas are rising, oceans are acidifying, ice is melting, coasts are flooding, species are dying, and communities are faltering. Despite these dire circumstances, most of us don't have a clear sense of how the interconnected crises in our ocean are affecting the climate system, food webs, coastal cities, and biodiversity, and which solutions can help us co-create a better future. "Engaging and . . . enraging" (San Francisco Chronicle), The Atlas of Disappearing Places depicts twenty locations across the globe under siege from four different climate impacts. Each chapter paints a portrait of an existential threat in a particular place, weaving together contemporary stories and speculative "future histories" with beautiful, full-color illustrations to offer "suggestions for practical ways to reduce climate impact" (Foreword Reviews). As the effects of climate change continue to become clearer and the time to reverse it slips further away, The Atlas of Disappearing Places is "a striking and deeply researched work of art and environmental activism" ( BookPage) that will inspire readers to take on the greatest fight of our lives.
