Review title: One of those bricks to support your career
Product review: Seriously, it is thick as a brick, and it is full of facts and formulas and practical advice for engineers. But you should not use this book instead of an engineer--it starts at a too high level. For instance, if you are looking for simple wave equations, look elsewhere. But if coastal engineering is your future, buy this book, borrow it, steal it, whatever you have to do, just get it. I only give it 4 stars since it may loose some readers due to its rather high entry level. But of course, the price suggests that it is an expert book.
