"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
