Editorial Reviews

"This book has many merits, not the least of which is the unique GIS content that focuses on solutions to conundrums in the coastal zone. I found that the book provided an interesting and rewarding experience as I was exposed to subjects that I would not normally run across."

—Charles W. Finkl, Journal of Coastal Research, Vol. 33
