The Ravaging Tide: Strange Weather, Future Katrinas, and the Coming Death of America’s Coastal Cities

The Ravaging Tide: Strange Weather, Future Katrinas, and the Coming Death of America’s Coastal Cities

by Mike Tidwell

As much as I enjoyed Tidwell’s Bayou Farewell, I expected to enjoy The Ravaging Tide too. However, I couldn’t even finish it; the tone was just too preachy. Tidwell makes some important points about the importance of coastal cities (and wetlands) to the American economy, and he lays out a pretty good case for why all Americans should care. However, that wasn’t enough to get me to finish. Maybe I’ll give it another try at some future time.
