DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Editorial note: On September 22, 1989, Hurricane Hugo provided South Carolina with a painful demonstration of the accuracy of many points made in this paper, prepared a year earlier. This edition is made available with minor changes, to draw attention to critical issues pertinent to reconstruction and preparation for future natural disasters, and includes excerpts from news reports that underscore the reality of these issues in the context of a major hurricane. Dr. Sparks is presently engaged in detailed research to assess the effects of Hugo on coastal construction in the state [South Carolina]."--Page 2 of cover.
