Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

As an editor, I approached 'Seek Higher Ground' with a mix of curiosity and trepidation – would a book on flooding truly captivate my attention? The answer, thankfully, is a resounding yes. Keith McCarthy's narration sets the tone for the audiobook, bringing a sense of gravitas and authority to Palmer's writing. One of the standout aspects of the book is its ability to balance technical details with accessible storytelling. However, at times the pacing feels slightly uneven, with some sections feeling overly dense or technical. That being said, these minor quibbles were more than outweighed by the sheer scope and ambition of Palmer's project. I found myself thoroughly engaged by his narrative voice, which conveys a deep respect for the subject matter. As the audiobook draws to a close, Palmer's vision for a more sustainable future feels both inspiring and achievable. Overall, I would highly recommend 'Seek Higher Ground' to anyone interested in the intersection of science, environment, and society.
