This book seeks to understand the coast as a place that has deep
significance both historically and sociologically. Using several
case studies in Australia, the author uses Max Weber's approach to
rationalisation to understand the different ways coasts have been
interpreted throughout modern history. While today, coastal places
are known for their aspects of lifestyle or adventure, their
histories, underpinned by colonialism and industrialization, are
vastly different. The author examines the delicate dichotomy
between the alternative experiences the coast provides today,
versus the ideals and values imposed upon it in times gone by. The
author makes an ethical argument about the ways in which we use and
experience the coast today will adversely affect the lives of
future generations in an attempt to generate further discussion
amongst students and scholars of the sociology of place, as well as
coastal managers and stakeholders.
