Description

The Nature of the Outer Banks: Environmental Processes, Field Sites, and Development Issues, Corolla to OcracokeNorth Carolina's Outer Banks are in constant motion, responding to weather, waves, and the rising sea level. Beaches erode, sometimes taking homes or sections of highway with them into the surf; sand dunes migrate with the wind; and storms open new inlets and dump sand in channels and sounds. A classic guide, The Nature of the Outer Banks describes these dynamic forces and guides visitors to sites where they can see these phenomena in action. In the

North Carolina's Outer Banks are in constant motion, responding to weather, waves, and the rising sea level. Beaches erode, sometimes taking homes or sections of highway with them into the surf; sand dunes migrate with the wind; and storms open new inlets and dump sand in channels and sounds. A classic guide, The Nature of the Outer Banks describes these dynamic forces and guides visitors to sites where they can see these phenomena in action.

In the first section of the book, Dirk Frankenberg highlights three major processes on the Outer Banks: the rising sea level, movement of sand by wind and water, and stabilization of sand by plant life. In the second section, he provides a mile-by-mile field guide to the northern Banks, and in the final section, he alerts readers to the dangers of overdevelopment on the Outer Banks. In a new foreword for this edition, Betsy Bennett documents the ever-more-critical situation of these shifting sands.

Dog loves them
Size: 6 Inch, Color: Independence Day
My dog loved the first ball I got her, so I got her a second one. Both hhavr been very durable (she likes to puncture things with her teeth). I left each ball slightly deflated, so they were still firm, but she could bite them without issues. She has not punctured either ball yet. I did have to watch her because she started trying to chew the tabs off because she was bored. She has not chewed one off, just started thinking about it, and did a tiny bit of damage to one tab. She loves these balls. We have played tug of wat with them too, so yhe tabs are sturdy, and so is the ball. The dog did not care what collar she got, so I grabbed the least expensive one, and the 6 inch. She is a medium sized dog with razor teeth, and these work great.

Not recommended for the aggressive player..
Size: 6 Inch, Color: Red, Size: 6 Inch, Color: Red
First this ball was not delivered when it should have been. Second, the tabs are poorly made. One day of my dog playing with it and the tabs are already torn up. The ball itself is fun for her and has not deflated for now at least.

Tough little toy for super chewers.
Size: Shoes
Great my two Yorkies. Bought two. So far, still in one piece. UPDATE: This toy does not stand up to being washed. Since it is a "material" and not rubber, I would advise against buying it if you wash your dog toys. Sorry I bought several.

Not a durable toy.
Size: Drop Ball, Size: Drop Ball
I was very disappointed in this rope toys. It took one day for my Border Collie to destroy it. The rope is not a durable material at all. I had a rope toy that was like this one several years ago, but it was much more durable. It lasted a couple of years. I think this one would be great for a small puppy, but not for an adult dog. Very disappointing!

Fabulous play!
Size: Drop Ball
It is small for my 1 yr old girl boxer... my bad for not reading the product size details. The tug rope is great, but my rough boxer loved it too much and couldn't be trusted with it after much play. This toy opened the door for my purchasing tougher rope pull toys from the same brand.
