37 Places in Peril

Last night I was watching the French news on cable when they aired a segment on the receding coastline in Guiana, gobbling up beach front property all over the country... then this morning I discover this book about to be published... It's not 2100... it's happening NOW!

Travel is more than just a visit to a destination. It’s about heeding your wanderlust with heightened awareness and a new sense of urgency. Thee planet is actually filed with awe-inspiring but endangered places (from the phosphorescent bays of Puerto Rico to the Boreal forests of Finland), each of which are destined to undergo dramatic transformations in our lifetime.
