Synopsis
The beauty and diversity of our coast. This is a photographic journey around Britain's coastline, with particular attention to the people, buildings and landscape associated with The National Trust. It records the major maritime events of 2005. "Sea Fever" is a photographic essay based on journeys around Britain's coast by the award-winning photographer Stuart Franklin. It is a beautifully produced book about the changing face of Britain's coastline. High quality duotone reproduction of 117 of Stuart Franklin's stunning black and white photographs take the reader from the impact of storms in the Outer Hebrides to the aftermath of the flash flood in Boscastle, Cornwall, taking in some major maritime events of this year, including the Festival of the Sea, the re-enactment of the Battles of Trafalgar, Cowes Week and the Solent Review. Addressing many of the concerns and pressures that are changing our shoreline, "Sea Fever" is an inspiring book that explores environmental and social issues such as shipbuilding, fisheries and the protection of the coast from erosion.
