Requests:  0 Summary:  "In March 2011, people in a coastal Japanese city stood atop a seawall watching the approach of the tsunami that would kill them. They believed--naively--that the huge concrete barrier would save them. Instead they perished, betrayed by the very thing built to protect them. Erratic weather, blistering drought, rising seas, and ecosystem collapse now affect every inch of the globe. Increasingly, we no longer look to stop climate change, choosing instead to adapt to it. Never have so many undertaken such a widespread, hurried attempt to remake the world. Predictably, our hubris has led to unintended--and sometimes disastrous--consequences. Academics call it maladaptation; in simple terms, it's about solutions that backfire. Over the Seawall tells us the stories behind these unintended consequences and about the fixes that can do more harm than good."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.347 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 363.347 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.347 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.347 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 363.347 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.347 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
