This book tells you where beach sand comes from, how waves are formed and how they break and move sand down the coast, how �works of man� have blocked this movement and caused beach erosion, and what can be done to save the beaches for future generations of Americans. A three-part prescription for healthy beaches is proposed: �backing off�, �bypassing sand�, and �beach nourishment�.
