Requests:  0 Summary:  In this collection of fiction, essays, poems and reportage, Freeman draws together writers from around the world to help us see how the environmental crisis is hitting some of the most vulnerable communities where they live. The effects of global warming are especially disruptive in less well-off nations, sending refugees to the US and elsewhere in the wealthier world, where they often encounter the problems that perennially face outsiders: lack of access to education, health care, decent housing, employment, and even basic nutrition. But the problems of climate change are not restricted to those from the less developed world: people who can't sell their home because the building is on a flood plain, people who get displaced and cannot find work, and more. -- adapted from back cover   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 808.83935 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.83935 Tales Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.83935 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList
