Quotes
"A particularly useful tool for undergraduates studying coastal and estuarine processes or the management of coastal areas and resources...It is one of very few books that effectively cross the disciplinary divide between the physical sciences and management." - Journal of Environmental Planning and Management "The text is written in a lucid but nontechnical style and should be amenable to all students of environmental management...this text has the capacity to influence the attitudes of the next generation of coastal managers." - Progress in Physical Geography "A well written, comprehensive text about coastal and estuarine management...very useful as an introductory text." - International Journal of Environmental Education and Information "The only 'text book' which is both up-to-date and comprehensive in its coverage of this fast developing subject." - Dr Geoff Walker, West England University
