Description
Waves of Change: A Submerged Future
The oceans are rising, and with every new tide the world is forced to confront a future that is slowly slipping beneath the waves. “Waves of Change” is a compelling and meticulously researched exploration of one of the most urgent global challenges of our time: sea level rise and its profound social, economic, cultural, and environmental consequences.
From the eroding shores of Alaska to the sinking districts of Jakarta, from the fragile beauty of Venice to the vulnerable islands of the Maldives, this book reveals the hidden stories of communities living on the edge. Through vivid storytelling and scientific clarity, it illustrates how rising seas are reshaping coastlines, threatening major cities, and forcing entire populations to migrate.
Inside these pages, you will discover:
• The science behind sea level rise, from melting glaciers to thermal expansion.
• Real cases of coastal towns disappearing—and the cultural losses that follow.
• The economic costs of flooding, erosion, and forced migration.
• Engineering solutions like sea walls, mobile barriers, floating systems, and nature-based defenses.
• The global political challenges of protecting climate refugees.
“Waves of Change” is both a warning and a call to action. It invites us to reflect on the choices humanity faces as coastlines retreat and the future becomes increasingly uncertain. With urgency and depth, it lays out the reality we must confront—and the solutions we must build—before the tide rises too high.
A must-read for anyone interested in climate change, environmental justice, coastal planning, global politics, or the future of our planet.
