Alongshore
by John R. Stilgoe

John Stilgoe intertwines the natural and cultural history of a landscape we think we know. If you've never considered how odd, how dangerous, how special the marginal area of beach and coast is, this book is for you.

"Stilgoe is one of our finest historians of landscape and people. In Alongshore he has made that rare thing - a book that creates a sense of wonder about ourselves."
--Robert Finch

"When I walk, I drift east, downhill to the salt marsh, the estuary, the beach. Westward lies almost all of North America... Eastward lies no man's land, no woman's either. Through the trees begins the salt marsh sliced by estuaries, then low dunes and cobble beaches, then sandbars, and ledges exposed only at low tide, then ocean itself, no land at all. Through the trees begins this book."
--from the Preface
