It provides an excellent overview of many aspects of beach geography...The book is a hugely successful and interesting product which deserves to run to several edition. (Progress in Physical Geography, Vol.25 No.4, 2001) "...a deep and well researched account of beach morphodynamics and coastal evolution..." (Ocean Challenge)
