Geographywise: Coasts

What’s so amazing about our coasts? Go on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to find out! Explore frozen bays in the Arctic, sunbathe with tourists on a Brazilian beach, fly with seabirds who live in holes in the cliffs, and watch a lighthouse warn ships of rocks. Find out how coasts create habitats for wildlife, and how they are shaped by the forces of the weather into inlets, coves and arches. Then discover how coasts affect human life, letting us catch fish, navigate in boats and relax on seaside holidays! Including maps and diagrams, this is a wonderful look at all the varied aspects of coasts, covering their geography and climate, their role in human life and leisure, conservation issues and how to stay safe at the seaside.
