Pictorial Softcover. Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Jacket as Issued. First Edition. Journal of Coastal Research Special Issue #24". A LITERARY and PHOTOGRAPHIC chronicle and early forewarning of the imminent danger of global climate change and the resulting disaster of sea-level rise on the world…'s island states. From the Introduction: "Small island states, typically less than 10,000 km in area, with approximately one-half million or fewer residents, vary by geography, social composition, political influences, economic priorities, physical make-up, and climatic conditions (Hess 1990). However, a fundamental similarity acknowledged only in recent times compels them to work together, that is the impact of global climate change and the resulting threat of sea-level rise. A global rise in sea level appears to be the most dramatic and certain impact of all potential consequences of human-induced climate change. In fact, sea level can be thought of as the "dipstick" of climate change." A bright, clean, tight copy sans tears, stains, discoloration, and text and illustration markings. " PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in black-and-white photography, maps, and drawings with accompanying descritive captions. 242 pages. LH1.
