The extent of sea level increase will depend on what nature and we do between now and then to our Earths atmosphere and oceans. This book clearly summarizes the current changes in sea levels around the world. and what can be expected with anticipated changes in global climate trends. Importantly. the book includes guidelines for coping with forseeable consequences of sea level rise.Sea levels are on the rise. Theres no mistake about it. Imagine. for example. what the coast may look like in 50 years when the seashore is 1000 feet inland from where it is now. All the ocean-front dwellings will need to be moved back from the encroaching sea. And this is for regions that can adapt to changing sea levels. Some island nations will disappear with the rising sea. Miami. Florida. is on the front-line for potential impact by risng sea levels and will need to adapt. All these issues are addressed in this book in a very readable way.The potential impact on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast is dramically portrayed. A number of illustrations of past impacts of storms on these and other regions is reviewed. However. the connection between the recounts of past storm damages and impacts of climate change is somewhat difficult to interpret. expect to imply that future storms may be worse than the awful damage weve seen before. The real soul of the authors lies in recommendations for current shoreline management policies that will preserve their beauty and enjoyment for the public for the forseeable future. Shorelines change and we need to adapt to those changes. not try to prevent them.Theres lots to think about after reading this book. Its very readable and flows well. It would have benefited from additional editing as some parts are redundant and overall connections could be better made. Its a enjoyable book to read while at this beach this summer.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Classic PilkeyBy Glenn KlotzDr.Orrin Pilkey ( Coastal geologist) is Americas leading critic of US Govt policies along its coast lines and one of the worldd leading experts on all things Coastal. This book updates his positions on these issues plus warns all of us that the worlds Oceans are rising ( do to Global warming) and the pace is picking up! By 2100 he predicts in this book that they could rise by more then 20 ft.. drowning most of the worlds low lying regions and Islands and with it Americas major coastal cities like NYC and Miami! Dr. Pilkey is a very serious scientist so these predictions and claims are not just speculation there founded on hard science. This book is easy to read and is a must for anyone seriously interested in our Coast lines and Oceans. Some scientific jargon but mostly written for a lay audience. All in all its a good read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy PittsboroMike2012very important info for those who want a survivable environment life in 2050
