Book excerpt: Coastal Defences aims to present the broad spectrum of methods that engineers use to protect the coastline and investigates the sorts of issues that can arise as a result. The first section of the book examines 'traditional' hard techniques, such as sea walls and groynes, whilst the second looks at the more recent trend of using techniques more sympathetic to nature. By looking at each of the main methods of coastal protection in detail, the book investigates the rationale for using each method and the consequent management issues, presenting a case for and against each of the techniques.

The Environment Agency is responsible for managing the risk from main rivers and the sea in England and Wales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The construction of coastal defences has allowed many people to live and work in safety in areas of the United Kingdom that would otherwise have been lost to the sea. - However, building and maintaining such defences is a difficult and expensive undertaking, with inevitable consequences for the environment. - In rural areas, some existing defences have been abandoned and, given the predicted effects of global warming, this policy may be extended in the future. - "This guide explains how shorelines can be managed in a cost-effective and environmentally acceptable manner, and includes guidance on the design, construction and maintenance of coastal defences."--Jacket.

Download or read book American Coastal Defenses 1885–1950 written by Terrance McGovern and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06-20 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late-19th century, with the advances in technology and the increase in America's economic stature, a new round of fortification building began in the United States and its overseas territories. Locations such as Portland, Boston, New York, Baltimore, Charlestown, Savannah, Key West, Los Angeles and San Francisco were all extensively fortified. This book provides a concise introduction to the design, development and purpose of American coastal defenses in the "modern" era (1885–1950), a period defined by the use of concrete, steel, and powerful breech-loading rifles. It covers the emplacements, weaponry, equipment, and people that defended their country in times of great change and uncertainty.

Download or read book Grasping Gallipoli written by Peter Chasseaud and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failure of the Gallipoli campaign was instantly blamed on a great untruth – that the War Office was unprepared. This book, incorporating information unavailable elsewhere, shows that in fact the WO and the Admiralty had amassed a huge amount of data. Aerial reconnaissance had played a part – even Lawrence of Arabia had done his bit! The War Office knew all about Greek plans to capture the peninsula and one plan was even Anglo-Greek. The authors examine all the intelligence and how it was used or ignored and in the process, in the words of the late Richard Holmes they ‘illuminate a wildly beautiful landscape, which never fails to charm and shock me in equal measure.’
