SEA CHANGE
Book ID/图书代码： 13160007B14889
English Summary/英文概要： We have a special relationship with the sea. It is the single most powerful driver of our economy, our lifestyle and our politics. It affects what we eat, how we use the land, how we relate to our neighbours, how we travel, even the thickness of our coats. Yet we go on treating it, with childlike faith and unreason, as if we imagine it to be infinitely resourceful and endlessly forgiving. Sea Change addresses such issues as pollution by sewage, nuclear waste and dumping at sea; extinction of fish stocks; destruction of marine environment, impacts of climate change, coastal erosion and rising sea levels; decline of our seaside resorts; the failure of the ’integrated transport policy’;and smuggling. In each case Girling questions: how did the situation arise? What are the consequences? What should be done? And what will happen when we fail? His unique voice blends horror, humour and ’just fancy that’; sifting for solutions in the sands, he is utterly compelling, entertaining and inspirational.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 人類與大海關係密切，不論是經濟、生活方式、政治都與大海息息相關。大海影響人類食衣住行，然而人類卻誤以為海資源無限，沒有好好注意到大海的改變。這本書便是探討污水排放、核廢料丟棄海中、魚類濫捕、失敗的政策是如何導致海中生態破壞，影響氣候改變，讓海岸受到侵蝕，海平面上升，海資源銳減。
