Paperback. Zustand: Good. 256 pages. ex-libraryThe Last Beach is an urgent call to save the world's beaches while there is s till time. The geologists Orrin H. Pilkey and J. Andrew G. Cooper sound the alar m in this frank assessment of our current relationship with beaches and their gr im future if we do not change the way we un…derstand and treat our irreplaceable shores. Combining case studies and anecdotes from around the world, they argue t hat many of the world's developed beaches, including some in Florida and in Spai n, are virtually doomed and that we must act immediately to save imperiled beach es.After explaining beaches as dynamic ecosystems, Pilkey and Cooper asse ss the harm done by dense oceanfront development accompanied by the construction of massive seawalls to protect new buildings from a shoreline that encroaches a s sea levels rise. They discuss the toll taken by sand mining, trash that washes up on beaches, and pollution, which has contaminated not only the water but als o, surprisingly, the sand. Acknowledging the challenge of reconciling our action s with our love of beaches, the geologists offer suggestions for reversing cours e, insisting that given the space, beaches can take care of themselves and provi de us with multiple benefits.
