Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Our planet is in peril. Seas are rising, oceans are acidifying, ice is melting, coasts are flooding, species are dying, and communities are faltering. Despite these dire circumstances, most of us don't have a clear sense of how the interconnected crises in our ocean are affecting the climate system, food webs, coastal cities, and biodiversity, and which solutions can help us co-create a better future.Through a rich combination of place-based storytelling, clear explanations of climate science and policy, and beautifully rendered maps that use a unique ink-on-dried-seaweed technique, The Atlas of Disappearing Places depicts twenty locations across the globe, from Shanghai and Antarctica to Houston and the Cook Islands. The authors describe four climate change impacts - changing chemistry, warming waters, strengthening storms, and rising seas - using the metaphor of the ocean as a body to draw parallels between natural systems and human systems.Each chapter paints a portrait of an existential threat in a particular place, detailing what will be lost if we do not take bold action now. Weaving together contemporary stories and speculative 'future histories' for each place, this work considers both the serious consequences if we continue to pursue business as usual, and what we can do - from government policies to grassroots activism - to write a different, more hopeful story.A beautiful work of art and an indispensable resource to learn more about the devastating consequences of the climate crisis - as well as possibilities for individual and collective action - The Atlas of Disappearing Places will engage and inspire readers on the most pressing issue of our time.Locations include:Houston, TexasShanghai, ChinaHamburg, GermanySan Juan, Puerto RicoNew York City, New YorkPisco, PeruKisite, KenyaKure Atoll, HawaiiCamden, MaineThe Cook IslandsSan Francisco, CaliforniaNorfolk, VirginiaBn Tre, VietnamIse, JapanGravesend, United Kingdom'Painted with water-soluble inks on sheets of dried seaweed, the book's maps are textured, attractive, and informative.Climate change is not just about melting ice caps and starving polar bears, and The Atlas of Disappearing Places brings that reality home.' - Foreword Reviews'Beautiful maps and hopeful vignettes about the future temper this important book about climate change in our world.' - Library Journal'An extraordinary journey on the frontiers of scientific understanding into life's exquisitely complex interdependence communicated by master storytellers. At once captivating and deeply informative. Terrifying and hopeful, a must-read for all who care.' - David Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World, The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community, and Change the Story, Change the Future: A Living Economy for a Living Earth'An atlas of places that are likely to be transformed beyond recovery over the next decades may seem like a sad theme for a book. Yet Christina Conklin and Marina Psaros have produced a thing of beauty, a testament as gorgeous as the places it sears into our memory. If we do not care, we will not make the effort to save our world. Readers will find themselves caring deeply, and that at least is a first step.' - Richard Heinberg, senior fellow, Post Carbon Institute'The Atlas of Disappearing Places grasps the depth and breadth of change taking place. Creative, informative, and provocative, it presents us with artful surprises, poignant anecdotes, and memorable facts. I highly recommend it Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
