Book Nook: 'Over the Seawall - Tsunamis, Cyclones, Drought, and the Delusion of Controlling Nature' by Stephen Robert Miller

"Over the Seawall - Tsunamis, Cyclones, Drought, and the Delusion of Controlling Nature" by Stephen Robert Miller

When dealing with the changing climate we have a choice: work with nature, or against it.

Have you noticed how much the climate is changing and how quickly it is happening? This new book examines how we have repeatedly gone for the quick fix to try to combat climate change and that often these fixes can turn out to be maladaptations and things end up backfiring and only getting worse.

The author has observed that working with nature instead of against it can be beneficial. This book is well researched and it contains crucial information.

The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public LibraryClark County Public LibraryDayton Metro LibraryWright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.
