| Zusammenfassung: | Take this book to the beach; it will open up a whole new world. Illustrated throughout with color photographs, maps, and graphics, it explores one of the planet's most dynamic environments, from tourist beaches to Arctic beaches strewn with ice chunks to steaming hot tropical shores. It tells how beaches work, explains why they vary so much, and shows how dramatic changes can occur on them in a matter of hours. It discusses tides, waves, and wind; the patterns of dunes, washover fans, and wrack lines; and the shape of berms, bars, shell lags, cusps, ripples, and blisters. What is the world's longest beach? Why do some beaches sing when you walk on them? Why do some have dark rings on their surface and tiny holes scattered far and wide? This guide also considers the future of beaches, and explains how extensively people have affected them, from coastal engineering to pollution, oil spills, and rising sea levels. |

It discusses tides, waves, and wind; the patterns of dunes, washover fans, and wrack lines; and the shape of berms, bars, shell lags, cusps, ripples, and blisters. What is the world's longest beach? Why do some beaches sing when you walk on them? Why do some have dark rings on their surface and tiny holes scattered far and wide? This guide also considers the future of beaches, and explains how extensively people have affected them, from coastal engineering to pollution, oil spills, and rising sea levels.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Beaches.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85012606</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Seashore.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85119367</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Coasts.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85027443</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Coast changes.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85027423</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Bathing Beaches</subfield><subfield code="0">https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001493</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Plages.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Rivage.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Littoral.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Littoral</subfield><subfield code="x">Modifications.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">seashores.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Earth Sciences</subfield><subfield code="x">Geography.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Earth Sciences</subfield><subfield code="x">Geology.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">NATURE</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Beaches</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Coast changes</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Coasts</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Seashore</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Pilkey, Orrin H.,</subfield><subfield code="d">1934-</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJjd944TYYwXq9MRPFGJXd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79058315</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">The world's beaches (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFDxc9HQqmpt6yHY8BmVyd</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="t">World's beaches.</subfield><subfield code="d">Berkeley : University of California Press, ©2011</subfield><subfield code="z">9780520268715</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2010033411</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)656213226</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=380278</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Coutts Information Services</subfield><subfield code="b">COUT</subfield><subfield code="n">19195319</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ebrary</subfield><subfield code="b">EBRY</subfield><subfield code="n">ebr10482135</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">380278</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">6956996</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

Berkeley : University of California Press, ©2011. 1 online resource (xvi, 283 pages) : color illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier A world of beaches -- Beaches of the world -- Of what are beaches made? Sediments -- How beaches work: waves, currents, tides, and wind -- The form of the beach: crab's-eye and bird's-eye views -- The beach surface up close: imprints of tides, currents, and waves -- Escape from within: air and water in the beach -- Whichever way the wind blows: reworking the beach surface -- Beach creatures: tracks, trails, and traces -- Carbonate beaches: seashells and the stories they tell -- Digging the beach: into the third dimension -- Beaches at risk: sea-level rise and the human response -- The urbanized beach: from middens to the maelstrom of development. Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-278) and index. Print version record. Take this book to the beach; it will open up a whole new world. Illustrated throughout with color photographs, maps, and graphics, it explores one of the planet's most dynamic environments, from tourist beaches to Arctic beaches strewn with ice chunks to steaming hot tropical shores. It tells how beaches work, explains why they vary so much, and shows how dramatic changes can occur on them in a matter of hours. It discusses tides, waves, and wind; the patterns of dunes, washover fans, and wrack lines; and the shape of berms, bars, shell lags, cusps, ripples, and blisters. What is the world's longest beach? Why do some beaches sing when you walk on them? Why do some have dark rings on their surface and tiny holes scattered far and wide?
