Offers a glimpse of the future of vanishing shorelines in America in the age of climate change, where the wealthy will be able to remain the longest while the poor will be forced to leave. Journalist Andrew Lewis chronicles the struggle of his New Jersey hometown to rebuild their ravaged homes in the face of the same environmental stresses and governmental neglect that are endangering coastal areas throughout the United States. Lewis grew up on the Bayshore, a 40-mile stretch of Delaware Bay beaches, marshland, and fishing hamlets at the southern end of New Jersey, whose working-class community is fighting to retain their place in a country that has left them behind. The Bayshore, like so many rural places in the US, is under immense pressure from a combination of severe economic decline, industry loss, and regulation. But it is also contending with one of the fastest rates of sea level rise on the planet and the aftereffects of one of the most destructive hurricanes in American history, Superstorm Sandy. If in the years prior to Sandy the Bayshore had already been slowly disappearing, its beaches eroding and lowland cedar woods hollowing out into saltwater-bleached ghost forests, after the hurricane, the community was decimated. Today, homes and roads and memories are crumbling into the rising bay. Cumberland, the poor, rural county where the Bayshore is located, had been left out of the bulk of the initial federal disaster relief package post-Sandy. Instead of money to rebuild, the Bayshore got the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Superstorm Sandy Blue Acres Program, which identified and purchased flood-prone neighborhoods where working-class citizens lived, then demolished them to be converted to open space. The Drowning of Money Island is an intimate yet unbiased, lyrical yet investigative portrait of a rural community ravaged by sea level rise and economic hardship, as well as the increasingly divisive politics those factors have helped spawn. It invites us to confront how climate change is already intensifying preexisting inequality.Binding Type: Paperback

Fit great
Size: Large, Color: (100) White / White / Halo Gray
Been a couple of months and they seem to be holding up nicely. Real picky about fit of socks and these fit well. They are very thin but very comfortable.

Fit well and stay up
Size: Large, Color: (299) City Khaki / City Khaki / White
They're a little thin, so good mainly for warmer months. But they fit very well and I've not experienced any slippage

Low quality socks.
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
I have been buying Under Armour undergarments for years and have noticed a steady decline in quality. These socks are no different. I purchased another six packs of very similar styled Under Armour socks in 2023 and recently they have started wearing out. Those socks are no longer available for reorder, but these extremely similar socks were so I ordered them. The quality difference is obvious just by looking at and feeling them. They are more of a faded black/brown than the black pictured or the black that the three year old socks still are. The material is completely different and feels lighter. When wearing them they already feel like they are bunching up in my shoes, which the old ones never did. I do not expect these to last even a year and will not buy them again.
