In the shadow of melting glaciers

"Climate change is producing profound changes globally. Yet we still know little about how it affects real people in real places on a daily basis. This book illustrates in vivid detail how people in the Andes, where global climate change has generated the world's most deadly glacial lake, outburst floods, and glacier avalanches, have grappled with the effects of climate change and ensuing natural disasters for more than half a century."--[book cover].
