Inhaltsangabe
Silver Donald Cameron uses a study of the elements of the beach to build a case for the beach as an integrated, living entity in its own right, and a model for the unity of all things on Earth.
More than a tour of the eastern and western shores of North America, Cameron's book leads his readers to an awakening of the processes of life around us. The author begins with the science of waves and sand, and gradually reveals the inter-relatedness of all the habitus of the beach. The final destination is an understanding of how all living things are woven together in the fabric of life and what that means for "the stewards of the Earth."

The Living Beach reveals a beach that is not merely a place, but a process that embodies the paradox of change and stability. With our understanding of that process grows the knowledge that our relationship with the beach, and with all of the nature, must be a partnership.
Come to The Living Beach. It will change the way you see the world.
