Todos hablan acerca de los glaciares en el Peru y del Impacto que genera su derretimiento, pero hasta la actualidad, la mayoria de investigaciones ha examnado la ciencia de los glaciares o se ha enfocado casi por completo en especulaciones sobre lo que podria ocurrir con el cambio climático a futuro. Este es un libro diferente que realiza una contribución invaluable acerca de la forma en que entendemos los glaciares, el cambio climático, los desastres naturales y el agua como recurso. Cubriendo 70 anos de historia en el Callejón de Huaylas y la Cordillera Blanca, este Cibro no trata de 10 que podria ocurrir en el futuro sino de 10 que ya ha sucedido, y como la gente ha percibido y respondido a los desastres glaciares como la avalancha que sepultó el poblado de Yungay en 1970. Explora además los extraordinarios y exitosos proyectos de ingenieria desarrollados para controlarlas amenazantes lagunas glaciares, los que continúan ejecutándose hasta hoy por el petigro latente que representan el desborde e inundación paralas ciudades. Examina también el problema del deciinamiento de recursos hidricos derivados de glaciares, los que siguen impactando en la, generación de energia, la agricultura y la irrigacién de zonas costeras, Este es entonces un libro acerca de cómo la gente se adanta a! carnbio climático a largo plazo, o por qué no logra hacerlo, ofreciendo lecciones criticas para dicha adaptación en el futuro y pera prevención de desastres naturales.
