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.

CORRECT FIT as Advertised...
IMpressed with this product. IT DEfinitely fits my 2023 Honda Pilot, EX-L with the 3.6L engine. There are several engine filters adverised on Amazon that "Say" they fit a 2023 Honda Pilot ONLY come to find OUT that most do not!! It appears that in 2023, there were some changes made to the engine air flow system that modified the layout somewhat. So my advise is to do YOUR homework and reseaech it to some degree so you're NOT having to send the filter back and REorder another one. My recommendation is to find the Honda or say, Fram part number 1st, then put that # into the Amazon search bar to ENsure you're ordering the correct one. BUT againt this one DID fit my Honda Pilot as advertised!!

It’s ok for a short period of time.
Meh….the filter is glued at each end versus clamped into the housing like the OEM filter. Will probably get a different brand or OEM in the near future.
