Book Description
Excerpt from Coast Sand Dunes, Sand Spits and Sand Wastes The greater part of the coast line of the world is fringed with sands. In many places the wind blows the sand inland and causes the formation on the coast margin of belts of sand dunes. Such dunes, unless fixed by vegetation, travel inland, causing in time the formation of sand wastes, and in many cases erosion of the coast. The object of this book is more particularly to draw attention to the advantages of collecting the inblown sand in the formation of a large coast protection dune, which when built up by the wind, under the guidance of man, to a proper height and inclination, serves several useful purposes. In the first place, such a littoral dune prevents inland sand drift and the formation of sand wastes; secondly, it acts as an embankment or line of defence against erosion of the coast; and, thirdly, it enables, and makes it commercially worth while, to reclaim and convert into beautiful pine woods, any existing inland areas of sand wastes or useless belts of sand dunes only partially covered by vegetation. On the Continent vast areas of sand wastes have been reclaimed and are now productive pine forest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
