In The Evolving Coast, geologist Richard Davis introduces readers to the science behind this natural drama. He describes clearly and simply how long-term forces (tectonic plate movement and fluctuating sea levels) and short-term processes (such as the weather and the action of the waves and tide) determine the character of a coast. Using breathtaking photographs, maps and drawings, Davis characterizes the habitats and formations found at land's edge. He concludes by commenting on another influential force of coastal change humanity. Vivid and informative, The Evolving Coast is an ideal book for anyone who has marveled at the majesty of the coast. 165 illustrations -- Book Description
