Nature. Science. Nonfiction. HTML:An eye-opening and essential tour of the vanishing world
What if Atlantis wasn't a myth, but an early precursor to a new age of great flooding? Across the globe, scientists and civilians alike are noticing rapidly rising sea levels, and higher and higher tides pushing more water directly into the places we live, from our most vibrant, historic cities to our last remaining traditional coastal villages. With each crack in the great ice sheets of the Artic and Antarctica, and each tick upwards of Earth's thermometer, we are moving closer to the brink of broad disaster.
By century's end, hundreds of millions of people will be retreating from the world's shores as our coasts become inundated and our landscapes transformed. From island nations to the world's major cities, coastal regions will disappear. Engineering projects to hold back the water are bold and may buy some time. Yet despite international efforts and tireless research, there is no permanent solution-no barriers to erect or walls to build-that will protect us in the end from the drowning of the world as we know it.
The Water Will Come is the definitive account of the coming water, why and how this will happen, and what it will all mean. As he travels across twelve countries and reports from the front lines, acclaimed journalist Jeff Goodell employs fact, science, and first-person, on-the-ground journalism to show vivid scenes from what already is becoming a water world.

A casual stroll through Faithfull's life, vague on dates and strong on recollected impressions during random episodes involving famous people, and replete with literary allusions and italicized phrases _en francais_ to impress readers with her reading and culture. ( )

Insightful and depressing. ( )

Being the memoirs of the famed rock singer and composer, who is unfortunately remembered more for being Mick Jagger's muse and lover than her own solo recordings of the eighties and nineties, which enjoyed considerable popularity and were very justly critically acclaimed. As a tell-all this is decent if one doesn't mind a certain peculiar mixture of self-pity and spleen--a mixture also prominent in her songs, so presumably fans of her music won't object to it here. The book is even better, though, when it sticks to her own creative processes and moves away from the Stones metier. ( )

Of course I wanted to read this for the gossip. I liked how Faithfull wrote about herself in a wry, sometimes regretful, but honest manner. My favourite aspect of the book is the quote from Anita Pallenberg on the back cover: "Marianne has always been cruel -- particularly to herself. This is a delightful book." ( )

An auto-biography of someone whose only claim to fame was that at one time she was Mick Jagger's GF. She did sing and record on her own, but it was not really serious, just something they could market. In her later life she went back to singing, writing and performing, but I can't say I ever heard of anything she did.

The heart of the book is her involvement with Mick and the Stones. In this type of book you can either be specific : he said, she said, or be vague. She has chosen to be vague, so the book isn't a hatchet job, but it does mean she seems fake. Her motives are explained in catch phrases and clichés. She seems not only detached from her life but from the book.

At several times she says one thing and later in the text she says something different about the same subject. She also seems to have no real feelings about anyone but herself. She also continually makes a big deal of her aristocratic pedigree, and what she read as though it made any difference in her life. She claims to have been the passive victim of everything but she doesn't blame others for her problems, just herself.

She didn't really have anything new to say about the London scene, though some of what she did say contradicted what others have said - some of the others were the actual people involved. ( )

Dear Reader

Here is my book at last and I hope you like it. I do.

Never apologize, never explain - didn't we always say that? Well, I haven't and I don't.

So, love,
