The tideline looks the same every day until you line up ten years of photographs and watch a whole headland disappear. Body Rock Sand is a hardback from an independent shop on Shoppi, 160 pages at 250 by 250mm, built around the idea that the coastline is reshaped by the sea, described by photographer Ian Jacob as nature's most aggressive power tool. It is Β£23.75, the sort of book that ends up on the coffee table of anyone who grew up near a cliff path that keeps moving further inland each winter. It photographs the slow violence most of us walk past without noticing. Which stretch of coast near you has visibly changed since you were a child?
