这本书介绍了悬崖的地质和地貌，它们的演变和发生在它们上面的变化。还考虑到了形成这些区域并导致变化的各种沿海进程。它解释了它们是如何变化的，以及它们消退的不同速度。在一些沿海地区，悬崖衰退已经停止，但这并不总是必要或可取的。当它们被某种方式稳定下来时，有时会出现意想不到的后果，例如附近海滩的丧失。决定是稳定悬崖还是允许它们继续后退是沿海悬崖管理的重要组成部分。这种管理应该基于对地貌学的理解：悬崖或海崖是如何形成的，它如何自然变化和人类活动的结果，以及管理程序可能如何改变它。这
This book provides an introduction to the geology and geomorphology of cliffs, their evolution and the changes taking place on them. There is consideration of the various coastal processes that have shaped them and that result in changes. There is explanation of how they change, and the differing rates at which they recede. On some coasts, cliff recession has been halted, but this is not always necessary or desirable. Where they have been stabilised in on way or another there have sometimes been unexpected consequences, such as the loss of nearby beaches. The decision on whether to stabilise cliffs or allow them to continue to recede is an important part of coastal cliff management. Such management should be based on an understanding of geomorphology: how a cliff or bluff has formed, how it is changing naturally and as the result of human activities and how management procedures are likely to modify it.
