Covering all beach types, and addressing issues from the behavioral and physiological adaptations of the biota to exploring the effects of pollution and the impact of man's activities, this book should become the standard reference for those interested in Sandy Shore study, management and preservation.* More than 25% expanded from the previous edition* Three entirely new chapters: Energetics and NutrientSeashore ecologySand dune ecologySeashore ecology.Sand dune ecology.574.52638577.69/9577.699577.699McLachlan Anton742108Brown A.
