Global climate change, sea level rise and, hence, coastal change are major scientific and political issues at the beginning of the twentieth century. The implications for humans living in coastal areas are far-reaching.| | The Atlas of Coastal Change is the first to summarize in graphic form our current understanding of former changes in coastal zones, current changes and possible future changes. It is divided into four parts. Part 1 covers the conext of coastal change, in terms of history, pate tectonics, sea level history and human impact. Part 2 deals with the contemporary situation. Part 3 is concerned with case studies from around the world and Part 4 looks to the future of coastal zones. The Atlas presents maps of coastal change at a range of scales throughout these sections.| | Using the latest research and fully referenced, this atlas is essential reading for everyone with an interest in coastal change.
