Revisiting the Cape Cod beach where the first version of Sandtiquity was made in 1978, Malcolm and Kappy Wells and Connie Simó again show how easy and fun it is to build truly impressive "sand castles" in the forms of pyramids, ziggurats, cliff dwellings, hydroelectric dams, and Egyptian temple complexes. All you need are moist sand and a flat stick, then follow the simple instructions: pile the sand, pack it, and cut away what isn't part of the edifice. The authors also create natural formations like the Devil's Tower, and sweeping abstractions. The results are beautifully photographed in color, showing just how convincing the effect of miniature monuments can be.

From Library Journal:
Sandcastles are among the most ephemeral of creations, yet even the simplest efforts inspire admiration. This is a completely redone version of the author's 1980 publication, with all-new photographs and new projects. Architect Wells, the author of several environmentally oriented books, went with his associates to Nauset Beach on Cape Cod and constructed several dozen sand structures based on geometrically shaped historic buildings such as pyramids, Greek temples, and Southwestern pueblos. These structures require only simple tools such as a flat board and a few twig embellishments. This is a delightful source of ideas, welcome even in landlocked libraries.
