Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering - Vol. 16
INTRODUCTION TO COASTAL ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
by J William Kamphuis (Queen's University, Canada)
This book is intended to be a text for undergraduate students of coastal engineering. It also serves as a reference for graduate students and practicing engineers, building on a basic foundation in coastal engineering. Finally, it is a guide for people in related disciplines. Coastal managers may use the book to cover the more theoretical and engineering-related aspects of their trade. Its subject matter is of interest to geographers, planners and coastal scientists alike.
