NotesThis is a comprehensive, up-to-date and important discussion of coastal hazards. There’s an excellent discussion of historic problems, a good look at current issues, and a chilling discussion of the implications of rising sea levels and climate change. Charts, b+w and color photographs. Anyone considering purchasing property at the coast should read this first.
