The Coast of Australia


Andrew D Short & Colin D Woodroffe

"The Coasts of Australia provides the first comprehensive overview of the coastal systems that operate around the Australian coast, including beaches, dunes, estuaries, deltas, rocky coast and coral reefs. It provides insight into the operation of these systems and their distribution around the coast, including a representative range of examples. It also examines the impact of humans on the coast through a number of case studies. This book is fully illustrated with colour diagrams and numerous photographs. Written by two of Australias leading coastal scientists, Andrew Short and Colin Woodroffe, The Coasts of Australia is essential reading for anyone interested in learning more about this massive, largely undeveloped and highly variable coastline."--Provided by publisher.
