Sinopse

"Barrier Islands" explores the fascinating world of these dynamic coastal landforms, revealing their geological origins, ecological importance, and the growing threats they face. The book emphasizes that barrier islands are not static features but ever-changing systems shaped by natural forces like sediment transport and wave action, as well as human activities. Understanding these complex interactions is vital for effective coastal management and conservation. The book investigates how these islands form, evolve, and function as critical habitats for diverse plant and animal life. Intriguingly, barrier islands act as natural buffers, protecting mainland coastlines from erosion and storm surges. The text highlights how climate change and coastal development significantly impact these fragile ecosystems, raising concerns about their long-term survival. Beginning with foundational concepts in coastal geomorphology and ecology, the book progresses to detailed case studies of barrier islands worldwide. It examines the geological processes that shape these islands and the ecological communities they support, culminating in an analysis of human impacts and potential mitigation strategies. Through maps, diagrams, and scientific data, "Barrier Islands" provides a comprehensive overview of these vital coastal features.

Airstream Country - A Geologic...

Neil Mathison

A herd of bison standing in the snow. Layered bluffs of multicolored sandstone. A silver Airstream trailer on a mountain highway. These are familiar sights for Neil Mathison and his wife, Susan. Newly retired, their son in college, they embark upon a great American road trip "uncoupled from the tyranny of calendars or a specific journey." Airstream Country recounts their travels across the western United States as they move from Montana to Malibu and Seattle to Silverton, winding their way through millions of years of geological history with their Airstream in tow. Along the way they encounter upheavals and depositions, ancient seas and young mountains, and stone towers and striated canyons, which are all illuminated by Mathison's knowledgeable commentary. Even after thousands of miles and eons of geology, their adventures are never finished, for, as Mathison writes, "We learn by travel where we ought to travel more."

In Days Gone By

Mike Blake

"This Poem 'In Days Gone By - Newbury'. Part 3 of the series Nature: Natural Healing.A time when most of the UK Countryside was criss-crossed by small roads and slow moving cars.And the pace was slower and more durable for nature.A delicate balance had been formed between the new motor car and the hedgerows and byways that struck a chord of harmony between each other. Broken now, with too many Motorways and not enough cycle lanes - leaving nature, floundering.I the Author have been writing Poetry for around 20 years. Most of it has been published on Amazon. I write on varied topics which resonate with what I'm thinking or studying at that time.Credit for the artwork on this piece, goes to Mike Miko for his interpretation of this poem into pictorial Art form." His skill in depicting the scenes of the Newbury bypass running through the heart of a forest, with a ghostly image of Swampies son, was truly remarkable.
