Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a walk on the beach with three coastal experts who reveal the secrets and the science of the North Carolina shoreline. What makes sea foam? What are those tiny sand volcanoes along the waterline? You'll find the answers to these questions and dozens more in this comprehensive field guide to the state's beaches, which shows visitors how to decipher the mysteries of the beach and interpret clues to an ever-changing geological story. Orrin Pilkey, Tracy Monegan Rice, and William Neal explore large-scale processes, such as the composition and interaction of wind, waves, and sand, as well as smaller features, such as bubble holes, drift lines, and black sands. In addition, coastal life forms large and small--from crabs and turtles to microscopic animals--are all discussed here. The concluding chapter contemplates the future of North Carolina beaches, considering the threats to their survival and assessing strategies for conservation. This indispensable beach book offers vacationers and naturalists a single source for learning to appreciate and preserve the natural features of a genuine state treasure.

Book excerpt: Connecting communities from Corolla in the north to Ocracoke Island in the south, scenic North Carolina Highway 12 binds together the fragile barrier islands that make up the Outer Banks. Throughout its lifetime, however, NC 12 has faced many challenges—from recurring storms and shifting sands to legal and political disputes—that have threatened this remarkable highway's very existence. Through the unique lens of the road's rich history, Dawson Carr tells the story of the Outer Banks as it has unfolded since a time when locals used oxcarts to pull provisions from harbors to their homes and the Wright Brothers struggled over mountainous dunes. Throughout, Carr captures the personal stories of those who have loved and lived on the Outer Banks. As Carr relates the importance of NC 12 and its transformation from a string of beach roads to a scenic byway joining miles of islands, he also chronicles the history of a region over the last eighty-five years, showing how the highway and the residents of the Outer Banks came to rely on each other.

My last responsibility at Dell, Malaysia, was Strategy lead for APJ. Then one day, I stumbled upon a clip about Steve Jobs. The Clip was six months before his demise when he learned the news of his pancreatic cancer. Steve reflected. "The fear of failure or the happiness that came from his successes evaded him. The only thought that persisted was – “How will that work help humanity".” From that day, I decided to postpone renting my time. Instead, invested several hours creating a non-fictional Case study on “An approach to Lean Organization Transformation. I believe – “What you are holding in your hand, I believe, is a masterpiece.” The concepts apply to both the Top and Middle-level Management tasked in making organizational changes which usually starts with making weekly Business case presentations to their leaders on how they can impact the change but struggle beyond a point devoid of a Bulletproof & Tested approach. I scrapped all the technicalities so that ANYONE could easily understand them. Happy reading! Love + respect, Vivek Kumar Sharma
