In this book, he sets out to answer fundamental questions that are frequently asked about the coast - how it evolved; how it operates; how natural processes affect it and why it is ever changing; and, finally, how human development can be managed to help preserve it." "The book provides an illustrated look at ocean waves and currents, beach formation and erosion, barrier island evolution, hurricanes, and sea level changes. With an abundance of visual material - including aerial photos, historical maps. simple figures, and satellite images - the author presents a lesson in coastal geography that readers will remember and appreciate the next time they are at the beach."--BOOK JACKET.
