Reviews
This large format softcover book contains a wealth of information that is not only of interest to those with some expertise in GIS, but also to students and researchers who have an interest in the coastal marine environment. - Charles W. Finkl, Journal of Coastal Research
An impressive and seminal work of collaborative scholarship, Ocean Solutions, Earth Solutions is very strongly recommended for personal, professional, community, governmental, and academic library Environmental Studies reference collections and reading lists. Michael J. Carson, Midwest Book Review
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.
