This book is written for engineers, students of coastal processes and laypersons interested in beach nourishment, which comprises the placement of large quantities of good quality sediment on the beach to advance the shoreline seaward. The improvement of project performance through proper design and the predictability of performance are emphasized. The overall longevity of a project is addressed, as are local erosional areas. The roles which wave height, project length and sediment quality play n project performance are addressed quantitatively. The results are illustrated through reference to a number of monitored nourishment prljects. Biological and economic aspects of beach nourishment are addressed.

Reviews for Beach Nourishment: Theory And Practice

A sequel to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952) takes Eustace Scrubb who went with the Pevensia?? children on their last voyage to the make believe land of Narnia, on a return trip- this time with a school friend Jill. In Narnia, Aslan the friendly lion, commission them to hunt for lost prince Rilian. After adventures with enchantresses and monzters, they find the prince, return to their hated school (which by way of sounding off against progressive education Mr. Lewis has described as a place full of trumped-up psychological problems) and as if by magic change it for the better. English fantasy we hope some young Americans may fancy. (Kirkus Reviews)
