Take a walk on the beach with three coastal experts who reveal the
secrets and the science of the North Carolina shoreline. What makes
sea foam? What are those tiny sand volcanoes along the waterline?
You'll find the answers to these questions and dozens more in this
comprehensive field guide to the state's beaches, which shows
visitors how to decipher the mysteries of the beach and interpret
clues to an ever-changing geological story.
Orrin Pilkey, Tracy Monegan Rice, and William Neal explore
large-scale processes, such as the composition and interaction of
wind, waves, and sand, as well as smaller features, such as bubble
holes, drift lines, and black sands. In addition, coastal life
forms large and small--from crabs and turtles to microscopic
animals--are all discussed here. The concluding chapter
contemplates the future of North Carolina beaches, considering the
threats to their survival and assessing strategies for
conservation. This indispensable beach book offers vacationers and
naturalists a single source for learning to appreciate and preserve
the natural features of a genuine state treasure.
