Coast Erosion Protection Works On the Case System in British Guiana

"Coast Erosion Protection Works On the Case System in British Guiana," penned by Gerald O. Case, offers a detailed look into early 20th-century coastal engineering practices. Focusing specifically on British Guiana (now Guyana), the book examines the implementation of the 'Case system, ' a methodology designed to combat coastal erosion, a persistent threat to low-lying areas.

This historical text provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by engineers in protecting vulnerable coastlines and the innovative solutions they developed. It serves as a crucial resource for understanding the evolution of coastal defense strategies and the early applications of engineering principles in addressing environmental concerns. For civil engineers, historians of technology, and anyone interested in the history of environmental management, this book offers a unique perspective on a critical aspect of infrastructure development and natural resource preservation.
