Stay curious with the community and join the Science Book Club to discuss this month's captivating pick.
"California Against the Sea: Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline," a non-fiction book by Los Angeles Times coastal reporter and Pulitzer Prize finalist Rosanna Xia, investigates the impacts of engineered landscapes, the market pressures of development, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved our contemporary coastline—and foretell even greater changes to our shores. From the beaches of the Mexican border up to the sheer-cliffed North Coast, the voices of Indigenous leaders, community activists, small-town mayors, urban engineers, and environmental scientists commingle. Together, they chronicle the challenges and urgency of forging a climate-wise future.
Book selections and conversations are geared toward adults.
