These massive concentrations of people expose often-fragile coastal environments to the runoff and pollution from municipal, industrial, and agricultural sources as well as the impacts of resource exploitation and a wide range of other human...

The Pacific coast is the most iconic region of California and one of the most fascinating and rapidly changing places in the world.

Our Ocean Backyard: Collected Essays
ISBN: 9781503208148 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For the three billion people on Earth who live in coastal regions, the ocean is figuratively, if not literally, "our backyard."
