520    What if Atlantis wasn't a myth, but an early precursor to 
       a new age of great flooding? Across the globe, scientists 
       and civilians alike are noticing rapidly rising sea levels,
       and higher and higher tides pushing more water directly 
       into the places we live, from our most vibrant, historic 
       cities to our last remaining traditional coastal villages.
       With each crack in the great ice sheets of the Arctic and 
       Antarctica, and each tick upwards of Earth's thermometer, 
       we are moving closer to the brink of broad disaster. 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. From island 
       nations to the world's major cities, coastal regions will 
       disappear. Engineering projects to hold back the water are
       bold and may buy some time. Yet despite international 
       efforts and tireless research, there is no permanent 
       solution - no barriers to erect or walls to build - that 
       will protect us in the end from the drowning of the world 
       as we know it. The Water Will Come is the definitive 
       account of the coming water, why and how this will happen,
       and what it will all mean. As he travels across twelve 
       countries and reports from the front lines, acclaimed 
       journalist Jeff Goodell employs fact, science, and first-
       person, on-the-ground journalism to show vivid scenes from
       what already is becoming a water world
