The Geography of Risk: Epic Storms, Rising Seas and the Cost of America's Coasts
by Gilbert M. Gaul
Publication Date - September 3, 2019
5 stars
I've read more than a few books about climate change and the rising waters and they all elicit an emotional reaction of fear and sadness but I'm not sure I have read one that has made me quite as angry as this one. My disclaimer, while I love to visit the ocean, I live in one of those states squarely in the middle, so maybe that's why all those numbers affected me so much. So much (so, so much) federal tax money goes to the protection, construction and rebuilding of million dollar second homes that are built on land that just shouldn't be built on in the first place. This is an important, very well written book that should be read widely. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
