In the Shadow of Melting Glaciers: Climate Change and Andean Society

In the Shadow of Melting Glaciers: Climate Change and Andean Society Global climate change has triggered profound changes at the ground level and for real people. This book illustrates in vivid detail how 25,000 Peruvian residents died from melting Andean glaciers. Successful engineering efforts to prevent additional catastrophes simultaneously helped commodify glaciers, erode local authority, and unleash contested modernization agendas in the Andes.
