The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World

"What if Atlantis wasn't a myth, but an early precursor to a new age of great flooding? 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 ... [This book is an account] of the coming water, why and how this will happen, and what it will all mean"--Amazon.com.
