"""Readable and informative. Observations motivate problems and justify assumptions, but also provide guidance on the limitations of idealized solutions, while the narrative sections of each chapter make the math relevant. This concise, up-to-date textbook has virtually everything a student needs for a course on coastal ocean physics.""--John Wilkin, Rutgers University ""This excellent textbook draws on the vast treasure chest of original research that Brink conducted over the past fifty years with his students and collaborators, and neatly develops the intellectual basis of modern coastal oceanography.""--Andreas Muenchow, University of Delaware ""This is the most comprehensive textbook on the subject that I know of, covering the theoretical aspects of continental shelf dynamics while providing solutions to numerous cases beyond basic physical oceanography and many examples of related observations. It will be a great resource for students and scientists alike.""--Tal Ezer, Old Dominion University"
