Oblong octavo, paperbound (black & white photo. illus. wrappers), xv + 259 pp. Very Good+, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) to page edges. From lower cover: More than one transplanted Floridian has paid $150,000 for a beautiful condominium with a sea view only to learn that, to keep the building from becoming part of the view, considerable additional money must be spent to build and repair seawalls or to pump up new beaches by dredging sand from offshore. Most of Florida's beachfront property lies on narrow strips of sand called barrier islands, which are low in elevation and subject to flooding during storms and hurricanes. Some of the construction is poor, adding to the problems facing homeowners, most of whom came from other parts of the country with little awareness of the hazards of beaches. In Living with the East Florida shore, Orrin H. Pilkey, JR., of Duke University, along with his co-authors, has described the varied problems that confront the east shore of Florida today. Written for the layperson, his richly illustrated book includes: Detailed guidelines for building and buying at the shore with maximum protection for your investment and yourself; Site-safety maps and descriptions for every stretch of shoreline from Fernandina Beach to Key West in enough detail to help you find your specific homesite; Up-to-date advice on land use and the law; Easy-to-follow discussion of the dynamics of shoreline change; Ways to guard yourself from the hazardous effects of hurricanes; A field-guided tour of the Miami Beach shoreline; Photographs, drawings, maps, checklists for further reading; And guides to federal, state, and local agencies involved in coastal development that will be of value to the homeowner, planner, or developer.
