  The water is rising — and it’s not just the coasts that are changing. Entire nations are sinking, rivers are shifting course, and millions are already on the move. But amid the devastation, extraordinary stories of resilience are emerging. 
  After the Flood takes readers to the front lines of the planet’s most pressing crisis: the global struggle to live with water in an era of unstoppable change. From the engineers building floating cities in the Netherlands to the farmers in Bangladesh reinventing agriculture on flooded land, and the Pacific Islanders fighting to preserve their homelands from beneath the waves — this is a story of ingenuity, defiance, and hope. 
  Blending investigative reporting with deeply human storytelling, Alex Southwick reveals how rising seas are not only redrawing maps, but reshaping what it means to belong, to adapt, and to survive. 
  After the Flood is a haunting and inspiring portrait of a world transformed by water — and the people determined to rise with it.

  The Abyss Stares Back -...

  As we see the catastrophic effects of the Anthropocene proliferate, advanced technologies also grant us greater access to the furthest reaches of the world's oceans, facilitating the discovery of countless new species. Stacy Alaimo explores the influence this newfound intimacy with the deep sea might have on our broader relationship to the nonhuman world. While many images of these abyssal creatures circulate as shallow clickbait, aesthetic representations can be enticing lures for speculating about their lives. 
   
  The Abyss Stares Back analyzes a diverse range of scientific, literary, and artistic accounts of deep-sea exploration. As she focuses on oft-overlooked creatures of the deep, Alaimo shows how depictions of the deep seas have been enmeshed in long colonial histories and racist constructions of a threatening abyss. 
   
  Drawing on feminist environmentalism, posthumanism, science and technology studies, and Indigenous and non-Western perspectives, Alaimo details how our understanding of science is fundamentally altered by aesthetic encounters with these otherworldly life forms. She argues that, although the deep sea is often thought of as a lifeless void, our increasing devastation of this realm underscores our ethical obligation to protect the biodiverse life in the depths. When the abyss stares back, it demands recognition.
