In Rising, 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. 9781571313812 9781571313812 1571313818 1571313818 eng 301 Seiten : Illustrationen (sw.)
