Product Information
Geology comes alive as Michael Collier flies over North America's coasts. Geology usually takes its time -- about a few million years, generally. Yet there is one place where the geological processes often occur right before our eyes: along the coastline of a great body of water. The latest book in this acclaimed series takes the reader on aerial tours over the coastlines of the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf, Great Lakes and Alaska. Along these coasts the earth is in perpetual motion, for example: Barrier islands are constantly torn apart and reshaped by violent storms Powerful waves jackhammer rocks into smithereens, carving coastal cliffs Deltas, marshes, beaches, dunes, bays, lagoons, estuaries and fjords are created and recreated by the action of water against land. Over the Coasts combines beautiful images with natural history and makes geological science readily accessible to the general reader. Science that is most apparent in these spectacular aerial portraits of our restless coasts.

This gorgeous book invites inquiry with its detailed and carefully selected images. The author is also a pilot, inviting readers to accompany him on his journeys to learn more about the geology of coastal areas and barrier islands. The text is stunningly enhanced with his color photography. He also introduces observers to the effects of human structures on coastal landforms. It's easy to imagine this book in an "inquiry corner" where students observe carefully to find the answers to specific geology questions. Maps, a glossary, and a sound index support these sorts of lessons., Come fly along our North American coastal landscapes.

It's easy to imagine this book in an "inquiry corner" where students observe carefully to find the answers to specific geology questions. Maps, a glossary, and a sound index support these sorts of lessons., Michael Collier's franchise in beautiful, deeply informed aerial geologic photography continues with Over the Coasts as his expert eye brings us the incomparable shores of the North American continent. You'll read this once to drink in the photographs, once more to absorb the text, then again and again., Award-winning photographer Michael Collier provides an educational glimpse at how the forces of nature sculpt the landscape. The only way to fully appreciate these dramatically beautiful sights is with a bird's eye view and Collier was simply born to fly. His expertly crafted aerial images are paired with highly informative text, which makes this book an amazing treat for both the eyes and the mind., Visually stimulating and enlightening.... You don't have to be a scientist to be captivated by this book., Michael Collier has used his experience as a pilot to fly the coasts of the United States to take stunning photographs of the coast line from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and north to Alaska.... What Collier offers in this book are some wonderful photographs with geologically oriented commentary to help explain why each coast is different [and] addresses the human presence on the coast.... This is a beautiful picture book, not a geological treatise. But it is still wonderful to "read" the pictures. There isn't much text, but I see the personal experience of the author, and the geologic understanding that he has of what he is photographing. The book offers an interesting viewpoint: to help explain the geologic processes that are happening today, and happened yesterday in the rocks we explore for., Where the land meets the sea, land can be shaped quickly, as revealed in dramatic, ever-changing scenery. In evocative words and stunning images, aerial photographer and geologist Michael Collier chronicles changes that have occurred--and are occurring--along North American coasts: the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico... The vivid text accompanying the beautiful photographs make Over the Coasts as much as informative geology primer as it is an attractive coffee-table book., It would be hard to imagine a more eminently qualified person than Collier, who is a doctor, photographer, writer, geologist and pilot, to produce such a visually stimulating and enlightening book on the subject.... Collier's aerial portraits of these environments capture their moods and essence in ways not possible from eye-level. Wonderful abstract patterns of river deltas and gently meandering waterways contrast with powerful ocean waves bashing rocky bulwarks; slivers of sand islands stand as sentinels in seemingly tranquil waters that are imperceptibly yet relentlessly gnawing away at the fragile shores. The book is packed with wonderful photographs and a wealth of information that makes interesting and informative reading. Collier's way with words is entertaining; information about the vast array of geological processes that shape our world is presented in easy-to-read layman terminology... You don't have to be a scientist to be captivated by this book., Visually stimulating and enlightening.... You don 1/2(tm)t have to be a scientist to be captivated by this book., In evocative words and stunning images, aerial photographer and geologist Michael Collier chronicles changes that have occurred., The book offers an interesting viewpoint: to help explain the geologic processes that are happening today, and happened yesterday.
