THE WATER WILL COME Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World

Goodell describes the effects of climate change in various parts of the world and explains how it will continue to disrupt modern life. With a deep voice that has a light rasp to it, narrator Ian Ferguson imbues the text with an emotional emphasis that resonates with Goodell's writing. Goodell witnesses a plethora of problems as he visits a dozen countries, and Ferguson captures both the overwhelming negative consequences of unchecked environmental degradation and the author's concern. From the aftereffects of Hurricane Sandy to the melting glaciers of Greenland and the increasing challenges facing Venice as pollution and rising water take their toll, Goodell warns of the danger to our environment and calls upon listeners to act.
