Reviews

"Rising Waters is solid truth in a time of denial. Journalist Tony Bartelme puts on the first-person gloves and meanders through the Lowcountry on journeys that will leave the reader sweaty, wet, mucked up in pluff mud, bug bitten and a bit befuddled. Most importantly though, is the wonder, awe, and concern for the natural world that he imparts."

•  J. Drew Lanham, acclaimed Clemson professor and author of The Home Place and Joy is the Justice We Give Ourselves.

"From a vantage point a few feet above sea level (on a good day), Tony Bartelme offers a fine view of what climate change looks like and means across the world. A valuable addition to the green bookshelf!"

• Bill McKibben, noted environmentalist and author of Here Comes the Sun and The End of Nature

“With clarity of thought and passionate writing, Tony Bartelme’s stories in Rising Waters are a call to action to protect the fragile ecosystem we depend on for so much of who we are.”

• Richard Porcher, eminent Lowcountry biologist, Professor Emeritus af The Citadel, and author of A Guide to Wildflowers of South Carolina.
  

“Tony Bartelme has an unparalleled ability to illuminate complex, global environmental problems through stories that are local, personal, fresh, and compelling.”

• Dana Beach, author and founder of Coastal Conservation League.
