What reading level is The Earth As Modified By Human Action book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is proposed to drain thegreat salt-water basin called the Zuiderzee. This inland sea covers anarea of not less than two thousand square miles, or about one millionthree hundred thousand acres. The seaward half, or that portion lyingnorth-west of a line drawn from Enkhuizen to Stavoren, is believed tohave been converted from a marsh to an open bay since the fifth centuryafter Christ, and this change is ascribed, partly if not wholly, to theinterference of man with the order of nature. The Zui...derzee communicateswith the sea by at least six considerable channels, separated from eachother by low islands, and the tide rises within the basin to the heightof three feet. To drain the Zuiderzee, these channels must first beclosed and the passage of the tidal flood through them cut off. If thisbe done, the coast currents will be restored approximately to the linesthey followed fourteen or fifteen centuries ago, and thero can be littledoubt that an appreciable effect will thus be produced upon all thetidal phenomena of that coast, and, of course, upon the maritimegeography of Holland.
