Description
“The best nonfiction book of 2018. … I canâ€t remember a book in recent years that taught
me quite so much. Every page is vivid and rich. … A model for what serious reportage should
be.― (Stephen L. Carter, Bloomberg)“[A] sweeping historical narrative. … Intimate,
meticulously reported and captivating. … Earl Swift masterfully reveals Tangier as it is. … The
definitive account of what once was and of what will soon be no more.― (Washington Post
(A Notable Book of the Year))“Earl Swift has long shown a talent for locating the big and
poignant stories that lay hidden in plain sight within the day-to-day lives of unsung Americans.

canary-in-the-coalmine tale thatâ€s sad and beautiful, haunting and true.― (HAMPTON SIDES,
New York Times bestselling author of In the Kingdom of Ice)“In a gripping, 400-pageÂ
tome, Swift gracefully outlines the harsh inevitability of global warming and how the people on its
front lines try to keep living their lives in its face. ... Fantastic.― (Outside (A Best Book of the

writers can do.― (Christian Science Monitor (A Best Book of the Year))“Earl Swift has long
shown a talent for locating the big and poignant stories that lay hidden in plain sight within the dayto-day
lives of unsung Americans. With Chesapeake Requiem, his gift is on fine display. Here is
a big story about a small place, a canary-in-the-coalmine tale thatâ€s sad and beautiful,

)“A provocative and respectful study of a culture that may soon be lost.― (Esquire, “The
Best Nonfiction Books of 2018 (So Far)―)“Swift paints vivid portraits of both the natural
environment and the individuals and institutions of this close-knit community. ... Harrowing and
moving. ... A well-rounded portrait of a rural community both dependent on and threatened by its
natural environment.― (Science)“Swift does such a good, interesting job of telling the stories
of the people who live on this island. … He really gets [the] hard questions about the reality of
climate change and … how we make decisions as a country and as a community about what we
value.― (Heather Hansman, NPRâ€s All Things Considered)“One of the most powerful
ways to tell the story of global climate change is to tell it local. And this meticulous, compassionate
look at the fishermen and their families, who have for generations made a home on a tiny island in
Chesapeake Bay, is a vivid portrait of what we are losing—and why we may fail to stop that

loss.“ (Deborah Blum, NPRâ€s Science Friday)
