"This book is filled with superheroes! Daring people who refused to watch their neighborhoods be plagued by avoidable and unjust inequities. Their stories provide a powerful blueprint that should inspire all of us to fight for justice and inclusion."Bechara Choucair, former Commissioner, Chicago Department of Public Health, and Senior Vice President/Chief Community Health Officer, Kaiser Permanente "Must reading for anyone who cares about our nation's future. With thoughtful reporting and judicious use of data, Suzanne Bohan shows us where hope lies—with everyone committed to making change happen." Angela Glover Blackwell, Founder and CEO, PolicyLink "Bohan provides such great and humane insight into the many ways in which neighborhood environments can conspire against good health. Even more importantly, she shows how communities can come together to build a better life. I found these stories both angering and inspiring." Linda Rudolph, Director, Center for Climate Change and Health, Public Health Institute "In Twenty Years of Life, Suzanne Bohan shows how trauma, both structural and personal, works as a primary catalyst for the inequities experienced by poor people and people of color. Who among us will have the courage to respond with the urgency required? We are all on the clock..." Pastor Michael McBride, National Director, PICO's Urban Strategies and LIVE FREE Campaign "In this slim but powerful volume, Suzanne Bohan takes us on a remarkable journey of discovery. With the skill of a researcher and the flair of a journalist, she charts how the field of public health came to understand that where you live is critical to your health—and explains how a California foundation came to believe that the only way to really alter those social and environmental determinants of well-being is to support grassroots power-building. As with many such paths, there are delightful surprises along the way—as when young people convince the foundation's board to invest in campaigns to alter school discipline policies or when the city manager of a town with a troubled history of police-community relations embraces the need to address systemic racism. In a nation wracked by division, polarization, and often inaction, these stories of listening, healing, and transformation offer a glimmer of hope for change. This is a compelling, important, and timely read." Manuel Pastor, Professor of Sociology and American Studies and Ethnicity, University of Southern California "This is a remarkable book. It tackles, head on, one of the most perplexing problems of our time: why do Americans have poorer health than the residents of 40 other nations even though we spend much more money on healthcare? Could the reason involve more than medical care? Suzanne Bohan demonstrates how lack of access to good schools, housing, parks, food, and community support can influence our health. And she shows what can be done about it. This is a much-needed book that reveals our true health problem and offers real-life examples of how to solve it." S. Leonard Syme, Professor Emeritus, UC Berkeley.

“This is a timely book… [It] should be mandatory reading for all persons seeking election to high public office. Followed by a test, with posted grades.” Minnesota Star Tribune "A New Coast is a compelling assessment of the dramatic changes that are coming to America's coast. Peterson offers insights and strategies for policymakers, planners, and business leaders preparing for the intensifying impacts of climate change along the coast.” Midwest Book Review "Communities along the American coast face hard choices on how to deal with storms and rising seas. A New Coast will help them manage these risks as well as guide the federal government in supporting this important effort. George J. Mitchell, former U.S. Senator from Maine and former U.S. Senate Majority Leader "Risks to our coasts from storms and rising seas have been known for decades, but efforts to prepare for these threats have been limited. A New Coast offers a timely and thoughtful framework for governments, businesses, and organizations to work together to meet these challenges. Peterson tackles the difficult challenge of linking science and experience from devastating storms with forward-thinking public policy and exhorts us to choose leadership over crisis management. William D. Ruckelshaus, former Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency "This unbelievably comprehensive and well-researched book covers everything from the drivers of sea level rise and the range of its impacts to existing programs and solutions—and concludes with arguments for a new national program to prepare for more severe storms and rising seas. This book is a must-read for coastal management planning and for action at multiple scales. Kathy Jacobs, University of Arizona; Director, Third National Climate Assessment "A New Coast is timely and a very important look at the policy challenges posed by ever-rising sea level in addition to increased flooding from extreme weather events. It is thorough, well researched, up-to-date, and thought provoking. Jeff Peterson is very familiar with U.S. policy on the topic and qualified to propose big change, which he does, unflinchingly. John Englander, oceanographer and author of High Tide on Main Street "Enlightening. Traditional interpretations of 'coastal flooding' are being superseded quickly by the realities of storms and sea level rise. Peterson offers an incredibly thoughtful blueprint for federal leadership to manage these unprecedented changes to our nation’s coastline. His remedies are daunting, yet practical and hopeful. One can only hope that future presidents, governors, mayors, and business leaders will heed his call to action. The economic, ecological, and cultural health of our coastal communities is at stake. J. Charles Fox, former Secretary, Maryland Department of Natural Resources; Assistant Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency "This important and comprehensive book is a must-read for coastal policymakers who are grappling with impacts from rising seas and more intense storms. It captures not only the challenges communities are facing due to climate change, but also useful examples and policy recommendations for advancing adaptation efforts at all levels of government. Jessica Grannis, Adaptation Program Director, Georgetown Climate Center.
