At Home on an Unruly Planet: Finding Refuge on a Changed Earth

There may well be too few people who haven’t been privy to the changing of the climate, as its effects progressively reach our literal doorsteps — sometimes even making them disappear. The metaphor of home is used, not only in the local geographic sense but also in reference to the planet which we call home. Science journalist Madeleine Ostrander explores personal and community accounts across the US where people are impacted and threatened by varying environmental factors. She shares the efforts of activists within these communities to preserve their homes. From “sea to shining sea”, Ostrander accounts the precarious changes of nature that make the notion of home precarious itself.
