Living with the Changing California Coast available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Crowded into the beautiful, narrow strip at the edge of the ocean, the large number of people who live near California's dynamic coastline often have little awareness of the hazards—waves, tides, wind, storms, rain, and runoff—that erode and impact the coast and claim property on a regular basis. This up-to-date, authoritative, and easy-to-use book, a geological profile of the California coast from Mexico to the Oregon border, describes the landforms and processes that shape the coastline and beaches, documents how erosion has affected development, and discusses the options that are available for dealing with coastal hazards and geologic instability. A completely revised and updated edition of Living with the California Coast (1985), this book features hundreds of new photographs and the latest data on human activity on the coast, on climate change, on rising seas levels, and on coastal erosion and protection. With its dramatic photographs and mile-by-mile maps, Living with the Changing California Coast will be an essential resource for those intending to buy or build along the coast, those who need specific information about various coastal regions, and those who are seeking information about how this remarkable coastline has evolved. *279 photographs portray natural coastal features and processes and illustrate many instances of what can happen to buildings on the coast *81 maps, covering the entire coast, detail types of coastal landforms, coastline erosion rates, locations of seawalls or armor, and other specific areas of interest *Offers specific advice for homebuyers,residents, and developers on which areas to avoid, on what safety measures should be taken, and on what danger signals should be heeded

The United States is often considered to be a nation of immigrants. However, some historians have overlooked the important pre-Columbian history of the country. This seems to be particularly true in maritime history works. But anthropologists have generally agreed that the nationas Native Americans have been living within the present boundaries of the United States for at least 10,000 years. Most Native Americans have learned to rely on the use of watercraft throughout their history. Since California has the longest seacoast of any western state, it made sense to examine the lives of these important coastal California tribes in terms of their maritime exploits. The eventual incursions by the European immigrants changed the lives of these coastal residents forever. But the admirable spirit and intelligence of the first coastal Californians have enabled them to survive and flourish.
