Sea And Land

Sea and Land: Features of Coasts and Oceans, with Special Reference to the Life of Man (1894) is a book written by Nathaniel Southgate Shaler. The book is a comprehensive study of the geological and biological features of the world's coasts and oceans, with a particular focus on how these features affect human life. Shaler, who was a renowned geologist and biologist, draws on his extensive knowledge of marine life and geology to provide a detailed analysis of the physical and biological processes that shape the world's coastlines and oceans.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of marine life and geology. The first section focuses on the geological features of the world's coasts and oceans, including the formation of coastal cliffs, the erosion of coastlines, and the movement of ocean currents. The second section looks at the biological features of the ocean, including the diversity of marine life, the role of plankton in the marine food chain, and the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems.In subsequent sections, Shaler explores the ways in which humans have interacted with the ocean throughout history, from early seafarers to modern-day fishermen and oceanographers. He also discusses the economic and social importance of the ocean, including its role in international trade and its impact on coastal communities.Overall, Sea and Land: Features of Coasts and Oceans, with Special Reference to the Life of Man (1894) is a fascinating exploration of the world's marine environments, and a testament to Shaler's expertise in the fields of geology and biology. The book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the natural world and the ways in which humans interact with it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
