Between Land and Sea - The Atlantic Coast and the Transformation of New England - Hardback - 2014

Christopher Pastore traces how Narragansett Bays ecology shaped the contours of European habitation, trade, and resource use, and how littoral settlers in turn, over two centuries, transformed a marshy fractal of water and earth into a clearly defined coastline, which proved less able to absorb the blows of human initiative and natural variation.
