Customer Reviews

South Carolina Coast

For any person living or planning to live on the South Carolina I truly recommend this superb book. It is a perfect example of a strong combination of science and practicality. Of particular interest is the work of, Matthew Stutz. Stutz is a budding young star whose breakthrough work will we certainly be hearing more about in the future. I highly recommend you pick up this book for the knowledge of the South Carolina Coast and to get a preview of the genius of Dr. Stutz.

Required Reading

This book should be required reading for anyone contemplating a purchase of property on the eastern coast. While the "pulpit preacher" tone gets tired, we are seldom aware of just how much change occurs over a relatively brief period of time. Pay your money now or a million when your lot is under water in another 30 years.

Beach Visitors Beware

I read this book while vacationing at Folly Beach, South Carolina. I loved the factual information especially the history of the development of the barrier islands However, the doom and gloom undertone predications got a little heavy handed after a while. It seemed like the book was a warning to anyone thinking about moving the the coast to stay away. Upon further inspection, it turns out that the "living with the coast" series was underwritten by FEMA!. An enjoyable read anyway.
