Living with the Alabama/Mississippi Shore Hardback
by Wayne F. Canis, William J. Neal, Orrin H. Pilkey
Part of the Living with the Shore series
Hardback
Description
The Alabama-Mississippi shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico boasts some of the world's most beautiful beaches and balmiest climes.
Ever-increasing numbers of retirees, recreation lovers, and industries with work forces are being attracted to the "Sun Belt." On a soft April day the Gulf's waters look as peaceful as a pond.
Yet this same serene shoreline has been ravaged by seven major hurricanes during this century.
Several years more than one fearful storm has come hurtling in during a single "season." Loss of life an property damage have been devastating. And newcomers seem almost unaware of the potential dangers. The authors of this book offer a vivid, historical overview for understanding the environment of the Alabama-Mississippi shore.
They describe the risks faced by new residents, and they point the way toward safe and sane coastal development.
