520    "With this collection of essays, Anthony J. Martin invites
       us to investigate animal and human traces on the Georgia 
       coast and the remarkable stories these traces, both modern
       and fossil, tell us. Readers will learn how these traces 
       enabled geologists to discover that the remains of ancient
       barrier islands still exist on the lower coastal plain of 
       Georgia, showing the recession of oceans millions of years
       ago. First, Martin details a solid but approachable 
       overview of Georgia barrier island ecosystems-maritime 
       forests, salt marshes, dunes, beaches-and how these 
       ecosystems are as much a product of plant and animal 
       behavior as they are of geology. Martin then describes 
       animal tracks, burrows, nests, and other traces and what 
       they tell us about their makers. He also explains how 
       trace fossils can document the behaviors of animals from 
       millions of years ago, including those no longer extant. 
       Next, Martin discusses the relatively scant history-
       scarcely five thousand years-of humans on the Georgia 
       coast. He takes us from the Native American shell rings on
       Sapelo Island to the cobbled streets of Savannah paved 
       with the ballast stones of slave ships. He also describes 
       the human introduction of invasive animals to the coast 
       and their effects on native species. Finally, Martin's 
       epilogue introduces the sobering idea that climate change,
       with its resultant extreme weather and rising sea levels, 
       is the ultimate human trace affecting the Georgia coast. 
       Here he asks how the traces of the past and present help 
       us to better predict and deal with our uncertain future"--
