Summary

Effective coastal engineering is expensive, but it is not as costly as neglect or ineffective intervention. Good practice needs to be based on sound principles, but theoretical work and modelling also need to be well grounded in practice, which is continuously evolving. Conceptual and detailed design has been advanced by new industry publications since the publication of the second edition.

This third edition provides a number of updates: the sections on wave overtopping have been up…

Critics Review

“Overall, the book covers the most important material for coastal engineering at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.” – Dong-Sheng Jeng, Griffith University, Australia

“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
