DESCRIPTION:
Bill Kamphuis is Emeritus Professor of Coastal Engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering at Queen s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada. from Queen s in 1965, worked at the National Research Council of Canada from 1965 to 1968 and then moved to Queen s University, where he became a full professor in 1974 and emeritus professor in 2001. He is a church organist, enjoys sail
This book is intended to be a text for undergraduate students of coastal engineering. It also serves as a reference for graduate students and practicing engineers, building on a basic foundation in coastal engineering. Coastal managers may use the book to cover the more theoretical and engineering-related aspects of their trade. Finally, it is a guide for people in related disciplines. Its subject matter is of interest to geographers, planners and coastal scientists alike.
Mary J. VanTassel said Five Stars. Excellent. Decent Little Book It is a Good intro, but It does have some problems. It is missing a bit of coverage on Costal Geology, Sustainability in Coastal Engineering, and it has MUCH MUCH to much emphasis on sand coasts.
He is a church organist, enjoys sailing and kayaking in summer, and teaches skiing in winter. He received his Ph.D. He has been invited to lecture at many institutions, has published over 130 research papers covering a broad range of topics in Coastal Engineering and is the author of the widely used reference and textbook: Introduction to Coastal Engineering and Management . .
