Matthew Yeomans takes the wide view, and joins the dots, weaving a story that's urgent and informed, but also a good blast of seaside fun.'\u003cbr\u003e– Mike Parker, author of \u003cem\u003eAll the Wide Border: Wales, England and the Places Between\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Timely in the extreme, this brisk, invigorating walk along the coast of Wales takes in the sheer variety of the land’s edge – its ruggedness and rich history – when so much of it is under serious threat. As sea-levels rise, Matthew Yeomans considers how we can deal with this aspect of climate change, from costly coastal defence to abandoning entire communities to inundation. He reminds us of the many ways the sea has nurtured and shaped the people of Wales, even as he offers a sobering reminder of our shameful disregard for the world we share.'\u003cbr\u003e– Jon Gower, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Turning Tide: A Biography of the Irish Sea\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'This is a thoughtful and informative walk.
