These rising water levels pose serious challenges to all aspects of coastal existence-chiefly economic, residential, and environmental-as well as to the cartographic definition and mapping of coasts. It is this facet of coastal life that Mark Monmonier tackles in Coast Lines. Setting sail on a journey across shifting landscapes, cartographic technology, and climate change, Monmonier reveals that coastlines are as much a set of ideas, assumptions, and societal beliefs as they are solid black lines on maps. Whether for sailing charts or property maps, Monmonier shows, coastlines challenge mapmakers to capture on paper a highly irregular land-water boundary perturbed by tides and storms and complicated by rocks, wrecks, and shoals. Coast Lines is peppered with captivating anecdotes about the frustrating effort to expunge fictitious islands from nautical charts, the tricky measurement of a coastline's length, and the contentious notions of beachfront property and public access. Combing maritime history and the history of technology, Coast Lines charts the historical progression from offshore sketches to satellite images and explores the societal impact of coastal cartography on everything from global warming to homeland security. Returning to the form of his celebrated Air Apparent, Monmonier ably renders the topic of coastal cartography accessible to both general readers and historians of science, technology, and maritime studies. In the post-Katrina era, when the map of entire regions can be redrawn by a single natural event, the issues he raises are more important than ever. 606 $aCoastal mapping 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring 615 0$aCoastal mapping. 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring. 676 $a912/.1946 686 $aRB 10223$2rvk 700 $aMonmonier$b Mark S$0276408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962362203321 996 $aCoast lines$94366687 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01783nam0 22003973i 450 001 VAN00256602 005 20250922092942.487 017 70$2N$a9783030807955 100 $a20230403d2022 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aCH 105 $a|||| ||||| 181 $ai$b e 182 $ab 183 $acr 200 1 $aStructural Geology$fA.
