This second edition of a widely praised book, originally published in 1999, includes new material on working with stakeholders, volunteers, and other groups to multiply conservation success. It also expands on the use of electronic media with examples of conservation Web pages, blogs, e-newsletters, and other new media. The book's citations have been updated to include a host of Web sites and other electronic sources useful for planning and implementing communication programs.

In this timely book, Tim Beatley argues that, in the face of such threats, all future coastal planning and management must reflect a commitment to the concept of resilience.  Resilience, Beatley explains, is a profoundly new way of viewing coastal infrastructure-an approach that values smaller, decentralized kinds of energy, water and transport more suited to the serious physical conditions coastal communities will likely face.
