I didn’t understand sea level rise until I read Jeff Goodell ‘s last book, The Water Will Come. I understood the science and the logic of it. What I hadn’t grasped was how it would appear it as happened, how it would bubble up from the drains, how it would be priced into home insurance, or be argued about in city budget meetings.

Publishers are wary of short books, as I’ve discovered when trying to pitch them. Apparently they feel insubstantial and subconsciously poor value for money to prospective buyers.
