This week, Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham are joined by Dr. Robert "Roy" Ritchie to examine the sweeping history of going to the beach. Archaeological evidence shows that humans, and even pre-humans, were visiting ancient beaches over 100,000 years ago. From there, humans have cultivated a relationship with the land-water interface that has changed our species and the planet. Come along as we examine some of the major historical inflection points in our relationship with the shoreline as described in Ritchie's new book, The Lure of the Beach: A Global History. A fascinating story we should all know better. Only on ASPN!
