Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of the English coastline, tracing its transformation from pre-glacial origins to its present form. The author, an accomplished geologist, draws on extensive research to uncover the complex interplay between sea level changes, erosion, and deposition that has shaped the coastline over millions of years. By examining the geological record, the book reveals the successive stages of coastal development, from the formation of cliffs and wave-cut platforms during periods of submergence to the creation of beaches and offshore bars during periods of emergence. The author also discusses the impact of human activity on coastal processes, highlighting the effects of seawalls, dredging, and reclamation projects. This book offers valuable insights into the dynamic nature of coastlines, providing a comprehensive understanding of their evolution and the factors that influence their ongoing transformation.
