Selection Statement:

It was an invaluable textbook and reference source for me as a graduate student and continues to be so in my career as a geological oceanographer. It is also an excellent reference text for coastal geologists and engineers around the globe on topics relating to the morphology and dynamics of the world's coastlines. It has just the right blend of conceptual, descriptive and mathematical ideas to convey the simplicities and complexities of coastal processes.
