A must read!!
I am not sure I have enough superlatives to describe this book. If someone living in Florida has even a passing interest in the world around them, they should run to order it. All of us actually have a responsibilty to know the basics that Tonya Clayton so clearly descibes here. We need to know not just to satisfy our curiosity, but also to be able to make informed decisions about issues relating to everything from conservation, to community decision-making regarding development and coast management, to newspaper articles and discussions regarding coastal insurance costs and changes, etc.Packed with information, and yet incredibly readable, this book will open up the magic (and the terror) of the constantly changing Florida Gulf coast. If you have experienced the coast changing under your feet you will be fascinated by the descriptions even though you probably already have a better than decent respect for how impermanent the coast is. For those who have never seen the Gulf coast before and after an overwash or inundation, this book should give you a heads up!I read the book with satellite maps at hand. It was useful to go look at what was being described. I would suggest a hardcopy so you can see the book photos with the text and easily navigate pages and photos. You WILL end up wanting to revisit decriptions and photos as you learn more.I originally got the kindle version then got hardcopy for ease of use.Thank you Tonya Clayton for this amazing book!

Enviro Enjoyable
It's enjoyable if you have interest in a sampling of environmental books and scholars. Required for a class on environmentalism and was an enjoyable read.

Very detailed...
In that I mean that it's hard to follow without a degree in the subject. I don't have a degree, so I just never finished the book.
