But this book is not a visualization of disaster or catastrophe. These beautifully subtle and often unsettling images capture the mood of waiting, of knowing the climate is changing, of living with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePhotography That Captures Environmental Change\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe color palette is tropical: lush greens, azure blues, pastel pinks. But the mood is pensive and melancholy. As new luxury high-rises soar, their foundations are in water. Crumbling walls carry images of tourist paradise. Manatees appear in odd places, sensitive to environmental change. Water is everywhere and water is the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Documentary Approach to Climate Reality\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMixing lyric documentary, gently staged photos and epic aerial vistas, \u003cstrong\u003eFloodZone\u003c\/strong\u003e crosses boundaries to express the deep contradictions of the place.

The book's sequencing allows viewers to experience the full narrative arc of life in Florida's flood zones, from luxury developments to environmental markers like displaced manatees.
