Hailed as \u201cdeeply felt\u201d (New York Times<\/em>), \u201ca revelation\u201d (Pacific Standard<\/em>), and \u201cthe book on climate change and sea levels that was missing\u201d (Chicago Tribune<\/em>), Rising<\/em> is both a highly original work of lyric reportage and a haunting meditation on how to let go of the places we love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With every passing day, and every record-breaking hurricane, it grows clearer that climate change is neither imagined nor distant\u2014and that rising seas are transforming the coastline of the United States in irrevocable ways. In Rising<\/em>, Elizabeth Rush guides readers through some of the places where this change has been most dramatic, from the Gulf Coast to Miami, and from New York City to the Bay Area. For many of the plants, animals, and humans in these places, the options are stark: retreat or perish in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaving firsthand testimonials from those facing this choice\u2014a Staten Islander who lost her father during Sandy, the remaining holdouts of a Native American community on a drowning Isle de Jean Charles, a neighborhood in Pensacola settled by escaped slaves hundreds of years ago\u2014with profiles of wildlife biologists, activists, and other members of these vulnerable communities,\u00a0Rising<\/em>\u00a0privileges the voices of those too often kept at the margins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
