I just would like to say that if you are interested in Coastal Morphology but didn't think that you could ever understand the science behind the processes, think again. This book was extremely well writen and easily understood. This was a text I had to buy for a class and is the first text that I actually liked to read. It helped me to understand the concepts of Coastal morphology and how the processes work. Wonderful easy read. Thanks to the author for writing such a great addition to college texts!!!

Easy-to-read reference describing plate tectonics, erosion, changing sea levels, and other topics, with a focus on the coast. Although the term 'evolving' in its title does not refer to the evolution of life, the coast was indeed the environment where many of the most significant evolutionary advances took place.

The book is an excellent resource for the emergence of Texas art and artists. The history is accurate and detailed and color plates of selected art pieces is excellent. One drawback is that the book focuses too much on one individual and not enough on the individual artists. The book's strongest attribute is how it places the "Davis Competitions" or "Wildflower Competitions" in historical context with regard to Texas art in the early 20th century.
