Reviews

"I found the book a useful instructional tool that covered the most relevant concepts that coastal engineering students at undergraduate and graduate level must learn. The book is well laid out and provides enough example work-throughs and case studies for students to test the knowledge and see the work in practice."-- Kristen Splinter, University of New South Wales, Australia"Overall, the book covers the most important material for coastal engineering at both undergraduate and postgraduate level." -- Dong-Sheng Jeng, Griffith University, Australia"… a comprehensive work, well-explained and at the same time advanced. It is a good book for both scholars and practitioners."-- Genserik Reniers, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
