What The Reviewers Say

Jon Gertner,
The New York Times Book Review
Lustgarten’s narrative sometimes bogs down with data and research arcana.
Marjorie Mann,
Library Journal
Scientific and individual humanitarian aspects come together in a moving but scary portrait of what will happen if climate change continues to make places uninhabitable. Readers will find this book to be quite informative and prescient..

Kirkus
Lustgarten interviews experts and victims to paint a grim but fact-based picture..

Publishers Weekly
Lustgarten provides a nuanced account of how myriad factors intertwine to fuel migration.
