1. When The Ice Is Gone
A clear, accessible account that uses geological evidence and historical records to trace how melting ice and changing climate have reshaped coastlines, explains how and how fast sea levels can rise, outlines the vulnerabilities of coastal cities and infrastructure, and explores the scientific projections and difficult social, economic, and policy choices—from mitigation to managed retreat—needed to reduce risk and plan for a future with less shoreline.
