Im Gegensatz zu anderen Auswirkungen des Klimawandels, die nicht in großem Maßstab spürbar sind, ist der Anstieg des Meeresspiegels ein sichtbarer und unerbittlicher Indikator für die globale Erwärmung, deren Folgen weltweit zu spüren sind. Es ist nicht zu leugnen, dass der Meeresspiegelanstieg – verstärkt durch Stürme und Sturmfluten – Erosion, Überschwemmungen und katastrophale Schäden an den Küsten sowie im Binnenland verursacht. Das Buch zeigt auf eindrucksvolle Weise anhand einer exemplarischen Region die mit dem Meeresspiegelanstieg verbundenen ökologischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Störungen auf: Der Autor hat die US-amerikanische Ostküste (Maine bis Florida) und den Golf von Mexiko (Florida bis Texas) zwischen 2005 und 2018 mittels großformatiger Luftaufnahmen aus seiner Cessna dokumentiert. Die Bilder illustrieren die verschiedenen Zustände der überflogenen Gebiete in verschiedenen Jahreszeiten, vor und nach großen Wetterereignissen und bezeugen somit, wie sich Geographie und Landschaft durch den Klimawandel dramatisch verändern. Das Buch diskutiert auch Resilienzstrategien und zeigt dabei, wie natürliche Systeme der Ableitung von Sturmfluten dienen können oder wie die Entwicklung von Parks und Naturschutzgebieten dazu führt, dass Hochwasser ohne nachhaltige Schäden aufgenommen wird - alles Beispiele für uns in einer Zeit, in der das Bewusstsein für den steigenden Meeresspiegel in Europa noch lange nicht ausreichend ausgeprägt ist. Das Buch wird durch einen brillanten Text von Bill McKibben, einer der führenden Persönlichkeiten des Klimaaktivismus, eingeleitet. The rise in sea level is a visible and remorseless indicator of global warming, the consequences of which can be experienced worldwide – in contrast to other effects of climate change that are not yet noticeable at a larger scale. The book illustrates, in an impressive way, the ecological, commercial, and social impact associated with the rise in sea levels, taking the examples of the American East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico: the author has documented this region from his Cessna between 2005 and 2018 using large-format aerial photography. The pictures illustrate the different conditions of the areas documented at different times of the year, before and after major weather events, and thereby provide evidence of how dramatically the geography and landscape are altered due to climate change.

Landscape photography has traveled far from its origins in the picturesque or pastoral. It is at the cutting edge of contemporary image-making with leading photographers creating work that transcends definitions of art or documentary. This is the first truly international survey of a vibrant, burgeoning field of photography, its masterful image-makers, and their work. William A. Ewing has selected more than 230 photographs by over 100 photographers, ranging from renowned figures such as Susan Derges, Edward Burtynsky, and Simon Norfolk, to younger rising stars including Pieter Hugo, Olaf Otto Becker, and Penelope Umbrico. Each of them represents an individual viewpoint of a shared concernfor our changing landscape and environment. Organized into ten themes Sublime; Pastoral; Artefacts; Rupture; Playground; Scar; Control; Enigma; Hallucination; and Reverie Landmark is an intelligent and poetic survey which captures a genre of photography to perfection."
