Provides a necessary background for those studying coastal systems. It describes landforms that occur on the coast, their responces to the processes that shape them and the pattern of evolution that can be determined for different types of coast over thousands of years. Numerous examples are used to illustrate the variety of environments. Particular attention is paid to coastal morphodynamics, the co-adjustment of process and form. «
