Download or read book Saving America's Beaches written by Scott L Douglass and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002-08-08 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells you where beach sand comes from, how waves are formed and how they break and move sand down the coast, how “works of man” have blocked this movement and caused beach erosion, and what can be done to save the beaches for future generations of Americans. A three-part prescription for healthy beaches is proposed: “backing off”, “bypassing sand”, and “beach nourishment”. So if you love waves and beaches, and care about the future of your favorite beach spot, then read this book while you enjoy the beach.

Keywords:Reviews:“An interesting book that provides perspective to the beach erosion problem from a coastal engineering viewpoint. Definitely worth reading”Professor Stephen P Leatherman Florida International University “Great, easy to understand and perfect for summarizing to local governing bodies and advisory committees.”Ron Hovell, Coastal Projects Manager Collier County (Naples), Florida,USA “… found it to be incredibly good. I highly recommend the book to anyone who loves the beach and or will be making decisions on beach programs.”Tom Campbell President of the American Coastal Coalition USA “This book of 91 pages should be required reading for the general public who visit and are interested in beaches. It is a delightfully easy read, well illustrated with color photographs of a variety of beach scenes, many of them quite beautiful and there is not a single equation in the entire book which must have been difficult for Douglass, an engineer! … Good advice for preserving America's beaches from a knowledgeable coastal engineer who has done his homework and provided the documentation to support his prescription!”Robert G Dean Professor University of Florida, USA “Saving American's Beaches is a publication that covers the what, how and why's of the coastal experience that can be understood and enjoyed from ages 8 to 80.”Gregory Woodell President American Shore and Beach Preservation Association “Saving America's Beaches fills the void for a layman's guide to processes that shape beaches, causes of beach erosion, and solutions to beach erosion problems. The book will find a ready audience among those who enjoy the most popular of American pastimes and among local, state, and federal government officials who must make decisions to protect what is a valuable esthetic, economic, and environmental resource.”Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering

Download or read book Rivers of Sand written by Christopher D. Haveman and published by University of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its height the Creek Nation comprised a collection of multiethnic towns and villages with a domain stretching across large parts of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. By the 1830s, however, the Creeks had lost almost all this territory through treaties and by the unchecked intrusion of white settlers who illegally expropriated Native soil. With the Jackson administration unwilling to aid the Creeks, while at the same time demanding their emigration to Indian territory, the Creek people suffered from dispossession, starvation, and indebtedness. Between the 1825 Treaty of Indian Springs and the arrival of detachment six in the West in late 1837, nearly twenty-three thousand Creek Indians were moved—voluntarily or involuntarily—to Indian territory. Rivers of Sand fills a substantial gap in scholarship by capturing the full breadth and depth of the Creeks’ collective tragedy during the marches westward, on the Creek home front, and during the first years of resettlement. Unlike the Cherokee Trail of Tears, which was conducted largely at the end of a bayonet, most Creeks were relocated through a combination of coercion and negotiation. Hopelessly outnumbered military personnel were forced to make concessions in order to gain the compliance of the headmen and their people. Christopher D. Haveman’s meticulous study uses previously unexamined documents to weave narratives of resistance and survival, making Rivers of Sand an essential addition to the ethnohistory of American Indian removal.

Book excerpt: This book addresses most of the environmental impacts of sand mining from small rivers The problems and solutions addressed in this book are applicable to all rivers that drain through densely populated tropical coasts undergoing rapid economic growth. Many rivers in the world are drastically being altered to levels often beyond their natural resilience capability. Among the different types of human interventions, mining of sand and gravel is the most disastrous one, as the activity threatens the very existence of river ecosystem. A better understanding of sand budget is necessary if the problems of river and coastal environments are to be solved.
