One day I opened my email to find this unsolicited testimonial as to the value of the book:

David,
 Wow!  What a great publication!  I am the Director of Safety for a Florida Air National Guard organization at Tyndall AFB (Panama City).  This is without a doubt the most comprehensive and complete publication on safety & awareness on our beaches that I have ever laid eyes on!  I have already shared its existence with fellow occupational safety and public safety professionals for their review.

Thank you for your time and effort in assembling this!  We need more information like this available to our visitors and residents.
