Book excerpt: "East Coast Atlantic Beaches features over 80 museum-quality photographs of lush and serene seascape scenes from world-renowned black-and-white photographer Michael Kahn. These warmly toned black-and-white seaside photographs range from Georgia to Maine, showcasing the beauty of the sand and the sea that speaks to so many of us. Michael grew up spending summer vacations on these Atlantic beaches, and his personal connection to the landscape shines through each minute detail. "Ever since I can remember," Michael says, "I have been infatuated with the sea. I swam, sailed, fished, and collected shells and sharks' teeth that had washed up on the sand. I hid in the dunes and marveled at the treasures the water and wind revealed, then covered again." These luminous silver gelatin prints, developed in Michael's darkroom, masterfully capture the majestic beauty of these beaches."--Publisher's description

Download or read book Atlantic Shorelines written by Mark D. Bertness and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to the natural history and intertidal ecology of East Coast shorelines Atlantic Shorelines is an introduction to the natural history and ecology of shoreline communities on the East Coast of North America. Writing for a broad audience, Mark Bertness examines how distinctive communities of plants and animals are generated on rocky shores and in salt marshes, mangroves, and soft sediment beaches on Atlantic shorelines. The book provides a comprehensive background for understanding the basic principles of intertidal ecology and the unique conditions faced by intertidal organisms. It describes the history of the Atlantic Coast, tides, and near-shore oceanographic processes that influence shoreline organisms; explains primary production in shoreline systems, intertidal food webs, and the way intertidal organisms survive; sets out the unusual reproductive challenges of living in an intertidal habitat, and the role of recruitment in shaping intertidal communities; and outlines how biological processes like competition, predation, facilitation, and ecosystem engineering generate the spatial structure of intertidal communities. The last part of the book focuses on the ecology of the three main shoreline habitats—rocky shores, soft sediment beaches, and shorelines vegetated with salt marsh plants and mangroves—and discusses in detail conservation issues associated with each of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take this book to the beach; it will open up a whole new world. Illustrated throughout with color photographs, maps, and graphics, it explores one of the planet’s most dynamic environments—from tourist beaches to Arctic beaches strewn with ice chunks to steaming hot tropical shores. The World’s Beaches tells how beaches work, explains why they vary so much, and shows how dramatic changes can occur on them in a matter of hours. It discusses tides, waves, and wind; the patterns of dunes, washover fans, and wrack lines; and the shape of berms, bars, shell lags, cusps, ripples, and blisters. What is the world’s longest beach? Why do some beaches sing when you walk on them? Why do some have dark rings on their surface and tiny holes scattered far and wide? This fascinating, comprehensive guide also considers the future of beaches, and explains how extensively people have affected them—from coastal engineering to pollution, oil spills, and rising sea levels.

This book, through a series of case studies, illustrates the variety of changes already made along the coastlines of the world. The examples used are mainly from China, Japan, The Netherlands, and the United States, all countries with extensively engineered shorelines.

The information in this book should be useful for all planners and engineers involved in the construction of coastal engineering works and for students interested in coastal modification.
