Description

Cape Lookout National Seashore: Paradigm for a Coastal System Ethic is produced by North Carolina Land of Water [NCLOW] and is printed in a lush 12″ x 9″ format that opens wide like a coffee table book. With over 300 illustrations, it’s a testament to the beauty and resilience of Core and Shackleford Banks, their islands, waterways, wildlife, and people. Stan Riggs shows us why Cape Lookout is the world’s model for living with constant coastal change, and he gives us a new vocabulary with which to better understand how and why it all works so efficiently when left to its natural ways.
