Synopsis

"This ambitious collaboration between the Book Bin bookstore and Secant Publishing delivers a versatile collection that reflects the terrors and anxiety of climate change.... Each story exposes a new twist, some braced by future visions of a world unchecked by the looming climate crisis, while others stay firmly based in the here and now." - BookLife (Editor's Pick)

"Each story poses a thought-provoking scenario firmly rooted in individual lives and impacts. Each will prompt not only food for thought, but vivid discussions in book groups and classrooms interested in considering climate change impact in different ways.... "The 'best' promise is more than fulfilled in a collection that stands out from any other." - D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review

"All the stories in this collection are absorbing in their own way, and each story has something unique to say about the biggest challenge human civilization has faced in a long, long time. Highly recommended." - Pikasho Deka, 5-Star Review, Readers' Favorite

Here are thirty-four original, mind-expanding short stories on the human impact of climate change. We all observe the daily march of news headlines as storms worsen, temperatures rise, wildfires spread and coastlines are threatened by rising seas. But how is climate change affecting the human condition as it is experienced by individuals and communities?

These stories were selected for publication in an international contest sponsored by the Book Bin, an independent bookstore in Onley, Virginia, and Secant Publishing, an independent publisher in Salisbury, Maryland. The authors represent nine countries and ten states within the U.S. We asked for artistic interpretations, not geologic analyses - and we got them.
