Living With the Changing California Coast

摘要

Living with the Changing California Coast has a vast amount of useful information on an important subject. Increasing numbers of people live directly on the coast willingly, but do they do so knowing of the hazards and effects on others? What is the coast like, and what are the processes? What are the hazards of living on the coast? What conflicts and other problems does coastal development create? How do you avoid hazards, or mitigate for them? What is the value of setbacks or buffer zones? What are the policies and local land use plans and regulations in California? This book addresses these questions, in an easily understood style. It is well written, with many relevant coastal photographs, and a series of mile-by-mile annotated coastal maps. The book has multiple co-authors, and the chapters are variable in content and style.
