An ocean coast is never constant. This is true every day as tides advance and recede, and, in an age of climate change, the transformation of shorelines due to sea level rise likely will be unprecedented. Our free e-book this month, Coast Lines: How Mapmakers Frame the World and Chart Environmental Change by Mark Monmonier, is not only an overview of how cartographers map coasts, but how environmental change impacts the lines mapmakers draw.Coast Lines charts the historical progression from offshore sketches to satellite images and explores the societal impact of coastal cartography on everything from global warming to homeland security. The book is peppered with the sorts of anecdotes that Monmonier relates so well—the frustrating effort to expunge fictitious islands from nautical charts, how aerial photography changed cartography, and the contentious notions of beachfront property and public access.
