Beaches Are Moving - The Drowning Of America''S Shoreline

by Orrin H. Pilkey e Wallace Kaufman

~~46,31€~~ 37,05€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

Conservationist Wallace Kaufman teams up with marine geologist Orrin H. Pilkey Jr., in an evaluation of America''s beaches from coast to coast, giving sound advice on how to judge a safe beach development from a dangerous one and how to live at the shore sensibly and safely.</p>
