An Evening with Jeff Goodell, Author of The Water Will Come

By century's end, hundreds of millions of people will be retreating from the world's shores as our coasts become inundated and our landscapes transformed. Acclaimed journalist Jeff Goodell's The Water Will Come: Rising Seas, Sinking Cities, and the Remaking of the Civilized World is the definitive account of the coming water, why and how this will happen, and what it will all mean. Goodell employs fact, science and first-person, on-the-ground journalism to show vivid scenes from what already is becoming a water world. This program is sponsored by the Hudson Library’s Flood Family Lecture Series.
