Jesse M Keenan: North, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In North , Jesse M. Keenan argues that America is on the verge of a great northern climate migration that will likely reshape everything from the urban landscape to electoral politics. First, he provides a conceptual, analytical, and empirical overview of adaptation science with a focus on how and where people are going to live, work, and build communities. Next, Keenan examines the geography of climate migration within the context of broader demographic, housing, and economic trends in America. Not just a collection of scientific observations and projections about America's future in the face of climate change, North explores the dawning of a post-climate era defined by the promise of a more sustainable way of life for those on the move and the peril of those left behind.
