Madeline Ostrander’s (@madelinevo) new book, “At Home on an Unruly Planet: Finding Refuge on a Changed Earth,” shows us how Americans are working to protect the places they call home from the ravages of climate change. A mix of reported stories and lyrical essays, Ostrander’s book introduces us to a Western firefighter, an urban farmer in California and the people of an eroding Alaskan community, all fighting to survive, to rebuild and to learn how to feel at home when that home is facing disaster.
