This quarter's title

"The Last Resort: A Chronicle of Paradise, Profit, and Peril at the Beach" by Sarah Stodola

Book description

The Last Resort dives into the psyche of the beach-goer and gets to the heart of what drives humans to seek out the sand. At the same time, Stodola grapples with the darker realities of resort culture: strangleholds on local economies, reckless construction, erosion of beaches, weighty carbon footprints, and the inevitable overdevelopment and decline that comes with a soaring demand for popular shorelines.
