Reader Reviews
This review is from: Coastal Geomorphology: An Introduction (Paperback) I find this book an excellent reference book for the study of coastal geomorphology. We have just finished a long coastal assignment and this was a major reference for my essay. It is easy to read and understand and if you live near a coast as we do in New Zealand, you can read and study at the same time. A great book. Thanks for your prompt delivery, that was my most hoped for wish, that it would get hear on time. It Did. Comment | | (Report this)
