Coastwise examines the coastline of the British Isles as a dynamic
environment and offers you an understandable explanation of how the
coastline functions as a single entity. It is supported by hundreds
of stunning photos and illustrations. It begins by exploring how
the forces of nature combine to create its physical features (and
continue to do so). This is a multifaceted story that involves
ancient geology and powerful ocean forces. It then turns to the
living nature of the coast, covering the unique plants, animals and
other organisms whose interdependence keeps the coast alive and
healthy. These amazing creatures are described and displayed in
full colour. The third part of the book looks at how humans have
interacted with the coast, using it for defence, commerce and
leisure. It explores these aspects from the earliest times to the
present day. The final section shows, for each coastal region,
where the features discussed in the book can be observed and
enjoyed, giving you a practical way of exploring the elements
described in the book. All aspects of the coast are covered, making
it essential reading - or a wonderful gift - for all those who
spend time on Britain's coast. As Countryfile presenter, Tom Heap,
says in his Foreword: "These pages are a practical love letter to
Britain's waterfront and no seaside holiday home should be without
them."
