This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book uses a fictional but realistic story of a coastal community relocating in the face of climate risk to illustrate how to make climate conversations happen, what those conversations can look like, and how to move from discussion to action. The book targets those who may feel that climate risks are nearly impossible to discuss, let alone achieve.By addressing risks as stories, communities can be better prepared to discuss and face climate change directly and comprehensively. Whether the attendee s community consists of family, friends, or work colleagues, are anchored to a specific physical place, we will have little choice but to adapt reducing risks, increasing your ability to bounce back, or reorganizing to a new normal.The book demonstrates, not merely tells, why building personal stores can resolve problems, become dreams, and transition into achievable plans. After all, plans are merely repurposed stories with aspirational themes, where the reveal is included within the first few paragraphs. We feel that storytelling offers a way to address a future that may be impossible for many to address in, any other way. Expected changes to our future weather demands we think of recreating our future differently. Storytelling can provide an emotionally safe way to proceed individually and communally.Resilient Shores can be thought of as three books. It is a success story of how a community moves to safe ground. It is an instructional guide for inspired readers to help them create, or recreate their own, aspirational stories highlighting more realistic futures.
