Christina Gerhardt, author of SEA CHANGE - an in-person Boswell event

Boswell Book Company hosts an evening with Environmental and Humanities scholar and journalist Christina Gerhardt, author of Sea Change: An Atlas of Islands in a Rising Ocean.

Low-lying islands are least responsible for global warming, but they are suffering the brunt of it. This transportive atlas reorients our vantage point to place islands at the center of the story, highlighting Indigenous and Black voices and the work of communities taking action for local and global climate justice. Full of immersive storytelling, scientific expertise, and rallying cries from island populations that shout with hope, this atlas will galvanize readers in the fight against climate change and the choices we all face.

From Rebecca Solnit: "In Christina Gerhardt's stunning atlas of the present and future, we not only see these living places disappear in stages, but hear from their inhabitants in this mix of cartography, science, history, and urgent outcry about the climate crisis. This book makes tangible and visible both the physical changes and their cultural, emotional, and social impact."

Christina Gerhardt is Associate Professor at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, Senior Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, and former Barron Professor of Environment and the Humanities at Princeton University. Her environmental journalism has been published by The Nation, The Progressive, and the Washington Monthly.
