The North Carolina Shore and Its Barrier Islands: Restless Ribbons of Sand (Living with the Shore)
"Some 20 years ago several of these authors wrote a book on North Carolina coast hazards and ways to reduce vulnerability (followed by 20 books for other coastal regions). This book represents an update to include the effects of recent storms on the coastline, the improved understanding of barrier island dynamics, and also newer building protection procedures. Graphic descriptions of storm damage are shown, followed by a mile-by-mile status of the barrier islands with detailed risk assessment. The book concludes with protection procedures. This book is for the most part nontechnical and will appeal to those interested in the hazards of coastal living."--"Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society"
