Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Coastal Evolution This book makes no pretentions to be a treatise on the evolution of coastlines. It is rather an attempt to consider the coast of England and Wales in the light of the theories on coastal development already so ably expounded by Prof. W. M. Davis, Prof. D. W. Johnson and M. Emm. de Martonne. It has been impossible to give an equal degree of attention to all parts of the English coast and to keep in touch in all cases with the most recent coastal changes. Libraries have not always been accessible nor visits to the coast feasible, and I am conscious that errors may well occur in the account of regions with which I am not personally very familiar. For such errors, more easily explained than excused, I should like to apologize here to those local workers who may detect them.
