Coastal cities are increasingly susceptible to flooding as the climate changes. Charleston, South Carolina, is no exception. This is the first book to deal with the topographic evolution of Charleston, its history of flooding from the seventeenth century to the present, and the efforts made to keep its populace high and dry, and safe and healthy.
