Life in the Shifting Dunes
Laurence B. White
62 pages~1 hr 15 min read99 chapters$4.99
On a spit of Massachusetts sand called Castle Neck, Laurence White found a whole science underfoot. He points out ventifacts polished by wind, glacial erratics, fulgurites forged by lightning, and garnets glinting in the till. A short, sharp field guide to a landscape most people just walk across. Read the story written in the dunes.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
