Now in paperback: a deeply researched and reported ( San Francisco Chronicle ) exploration of sea level rise in California that breathes exquisite detail and dialogue ( Science Magazine ) into the subject.
Through graceful reportage, she charts how the decisions we make today will determine where we go tomorrow: headlong into natural disaster, or toward an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship..
Xia\'s investigation takes us to Imperial Beach, Los Angeles, Pacifica, Marin City, San Francisco, and beyond, weighing the rivaling arguments, agreements, compromises, and Visions governing the State of California\'s commitment to a coast for all.
Together, they chronicle the challenges and urgency of forging a climate-wise future.
From the beaches of the Mexican border up to the sheer-cliffed North Coast, the voices of Indigenous leaders, community activists, small-town mayors, urban engineers, and tenacious environmental scientists commingle.
In California Against the Sea , Los Angeles Times coastal reporter Rosanna Xia asks: As climate chaos threatens the places we love so fiercely, will we finally grasp our collective capacity for change? Xia, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, investigates the impacts of engineered landscapes, the market pressures of development, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved our contemporary coastline--and foretell even greater changes to our shores. -- The New Yorker Along California\'s 1,200-mile coastline, the overheated Pacific Ocean is rising and pressing in, imperiling both wildlife and the maritime towns and cities that 27 million people call home. -- Ed Yong , author of An Immense World When do seawalls make sense? And when is it better to give in to the tides? [...] In California Against the Sea , Xia [...] writes about the difficult realities of trying to incorporate fairness into our tally of costs and benefits. 2023 Golden Poppy Award Winner for Nonfiction, Chosen by the California Independent Booksellers Alliance Viscerally urgent, thoroughly reported, and compellingly written--a must-read for our uncertain times.
