Octavo, turquoise & yellow boards (hardcover), gilt letters, xxiv + 310 pp. Fine (As New) in a Fine (As New) dust jacket. From dust jacket: As seductive as the landscape it celebrates, here for the first time is the full story of the seashore -- its history (natural and human), customs, spectacles, and scandals. The beach's turquoise surf and sugary sand now provide a favorite retreat, but this wasn't always so. In their elegant and illuminating account, Lena Lencek and Gideon Bosker chart the evolution of the seaside from a wasteland at the margins of civilization -- when "exotic" meant remote and terrifying -- to its present role as a staging ground for escape and recreation. The Beach opens with the geologic origins of the shores themselves, and recounts how they were formed in an ancient dance of earth, water, wind, and sun. The beach of antiquity engendered contradictory feelings --Greek and Roman myths depicting the sea and its shore as alternately threatening and soothing, teeming with bellicose monsters and alluring sirens. Medieval Europeans drew back from the perilous waters, but their descendants in the seventeenth century rediscovered the beach's medicinal attractions and soon glorified it as a venue for social pursuits. Embedded in the story are the histories of sexuality, health, fashion, and sport, as well as accounts of the development of beach architecture (and beachwear, naturally) and the rise of the great resorts, whose very names -- Brighton, St. Tropez, Newport, Miami Beach -- are synonymous with pleasure. The beach is also where Columbus, Cook, and Bougainville first set eyes on the "other," where the D-Day troops invaded France, and where the first postwar atomic bomb was exploded. The atoll of Bikini, of course, also lent its name to another earthshaking innovation of 1946, the world's skimpiest two-piece bathing suit.
