Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In North, Jesse M. Keenan argues that America is on the verge of a great northern climate migration that will likely reshape everything from the urban landscape to electoral politics. First, he provides a conceptual, analytical, and empirical overview of adaptation science with a focus on how and where people are going to live, work, and build communities. Next, Keenan examines the geography of climate migration within the context of broader demographic, housing, and economic trends in America. Not just a collection of scientific observations and projections about America's future in the face of climate change, North explores the dawning of a post-climate era defined by the promise of a more sustainable way of life for those on the move and the peril of those left behind.
MoreLong description:
Climate change is already influencing how and where people live. In North, Jesse M. Keenan argues that America is entering a new era marked by shifts in population that will transform everything from the physical landscape of cities to electoral politics. First, Keenan examines how human mobility is shaped by the environment and the economy. Next, he provides a conceptual and empirical overview of adaptation science, with a focus on how people, governments, and markets are preparing for and responding to climate impacts. He documents how physical impacts in the built environment, escalating costs, and public sector inertia are converging to drive people out of high-risk areas, while, at the same time, certain other areas are attracting people who seek a more sustainable way of life. North is not just a collection of scientific observations and projections about the peril of those left behind. It is also a projection of optimism about America's capacity for decarbonization, environmental stewardship, and economic mobility for those on the move.
From the man who brought us Duluth: North^ is a persuasive,R clear-eyed, and deeply researched guide to the future of climate migration. Jesse Keenan, the authority on this subject, has written an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to understand the complex and often counterintuitive dynamics defining the world to come.
