The Evolving Coast by Richard A Davis
In this strikingly illustrated volume, geologist Richard Davis explores the evolution, nature and dynamics of all kinds of coastal systems - from rugged cliffs with crashing surf; to wide sandy beaches with gentle waves; to deltas, coastal bays, estuaries, lagoons and barrier islands. He focuses on the tectonic plate movement and changes in sea level that shape a coastline's distinctive personality and assesses the growing pressures on natural coastal systems from increased human and commercial activity.-
