For a book that can be breezed through in a couple of hours, this pseudonymously written novella manages to plumb the modern-day human dilemma with surprising depth and emotion.
- Frank Kaminski, resilience.org
Evokes a transformed world without resorting to the false choice between Star Trek and Mad Max.
- Patrick Marchman, Founder of the Climate Migration and Managed Retreat member group
As climate chaos approaches, what can stories offer? How does art help us make sense of our inertia and denialism, and how can it help us cope with the changes to come? There are no easy answers, but "The Disappearing Shore" can begin the conversation.
- Sarah Outterson Murphy, Teacher of Literature and Writing, Princeton, New Jersey
A quick read that touches on many aspects of climate change and its effects not only on the planet but necessarily on its inhabitants, this novella is a short, sharp taste of something that many people don’t want to think about, but absolutely should.
- Jemimah Halbert Brewster, Oddfeather Creative
I’d recommend The Disappearing Shore to anyone who is concerned about climate change and what it might mean for the lives of future generations.
- Long and Short Reviews
•••
This timely novella features an engaging cast of unlikely heroes who have gazed into the future and don't like what they see. Some will have to live there while others will be long gone. The one thing they all share is a determination to stop widespread collapse and restore the damaged world.
They have no illusions. They know they're up against powerful forces that see the Earth as a resource grab rather than the living wonder it is. Still, they refuse to back down and shut up, despite their own doubts and the widespread indifference that surrounds them.
Following their impassioned protests—full of candour and dark humour—"The Disappearing Shore" imagines a much different tomorrow where their legacy continues in ways they could never imagine.
We are at an extraordinary point in human history and this ground-breaking work of fiction by Roberta Park gives a voice to those who refuse to look away.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GreatBookPricesUK, Castle Donington, Derby, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
