Description:
The island of Britain has over 10,000 miles of coastline, steeped in history and constantly shifting, changing, adapting and providing This book is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it, during which the author travels its length to discover its challenges and opportunities, and to talk to the people trying to protect it.
At once a delightful travelogue and passionate defence, this book shines a powerful spotlight into the thin line that surrounds us and defines our status as islanders. Overarching the journey is the extraordinary natural history of the coastline, together with the story of how man has imprinted himself on its very geology and shape for countless centuries. Into the account, Roger Morgan-Grenville threads the modern challenges that the shoreline faces, and the people who are trying to protect it.
At once informative, angry and funny, The Restless Coast is a very personal love letter to our island edge.
