The reality is that I've already picked up a lot of the points the authors make by (dare I say it) osmosis, but if one is looking for a nuts-and-bolts examination of the issues of living by the sea in 21st century America you could do a lot worse than this booklet, which is aimed at the average American homeowner, small businessman, and tax payer. The long-term picture is that many large urban communities in coastal areas are going to be submerged (particularly in Florida); that shouldn't be news at this point. However, the medium-term issue is the inundation of vulnerable infrastructure (roads, harbors, industrial installations, etc.), and that is probably where the United States as a society is really going to get caught out.
