"The Rising Sea is a must-read, not only for those of us living on
the coast but for everyone concerned about meeting the challenges
of the future."-- "Florida Times-Union"
"The Rising Sea takes on a host of contentious issues, ranging from
the science of climatology to the politics of coastal planning to
the economics of engineering, all the while taking into account the
perverse psychology of a populace loath to acknowledge the truth
when doing so proves disruptive. Although insistent, Pilkey and
Young are never unduly alarmist."-- "Issues in Science and
Technology"
"The Rising Sea....is a book that is likely to inspire many. The
authors knowledgably and effectively sound the retreat from the
coast."-- "Electronic Green Journal"
"One of the things I like best about The Rising Sea is its
inclusion of many examples of climate-change adaptation, which
suggests an emerging emphasis on climate-change adaptation and
linkages between the natural world and people."-- "Conservation
Biology"
