Summary:
"Across the globe, scientists and civilians alike are noticing rapidly
rising
sea levels, and higher and higher tides pushing more
water
directly into the places we live, from our most vibrant, historic
cities
to our last remaining traditional coastal villages. With each crack in the great ice sheets of the Arctic and Antarctica, and each tick upwards of Earth's thermometer, we are moving closer to the brink of broad disaster. By century's end, hundreds of millions of people
will
be retreating from the
world
's shores as our coasts become inundated and our landscapes transformed. From island nations to the
world
's major
cities
, coastal regions
will
disappear. Engineering projects to hold back the
water
are bold and may buy some time. Yet despite international efforts and tireless research, there is no permanent solution - no barriers to erect or walls to build-that
will
protect us in the end from the drowning of the
world
as we know it. An account of the coming
water
, why and how this
will
happen, and what it
will
all mean. Journalist Jeff Goodell employs fact, science, and first-person, on-the-ground journalism to show vivid scenes from what already is becoming a
water
world
