“The extent of coverage is impressive. As well asbeing a useful reference book in its own right, it isextremely useful to have a single starting-pointfor graduates... the book is well structured andeasy to use.”

—S. Sinclair, Maritime Engineering

Historically, much harm has been done by well-meaning coastal engineering attempts, whichseemed like good ideas on paper but which failedto allow for practical issues. For this reason, it isvital that theories and models are well groundedin practice. With an emphasis on practice anddetailed modeling, this is a thorough introductionto all aspects of coastal processes, morphology,and design of coastal defenses. It describesnumerous case studies to illustrate the successfulapplication of mathematical modeling in real-world practice. This is a must-have book for engi-neering students looking to specialize in coastalengineering and management.

Features:

• Views the subject practically, rather than taking the theoretical approach used by most other books on the market

• Offers expanded coverage of tsunamis andwave forces

• Includes more illustrations and examples

Selected Contents:

Introduction. Wind Waves. Design WaveSpecification. Coastal Water Level Variations.Coastal Zone Processes. Coastal Morphology:Analysis, Modelling and Prediction. Design,Reliability and Risk.

Laurence R. RilettUniversity of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA

“In this treatment of statistics specifically directedto transportation planners and engineers,Spiegelman and other transportation experts discuss the basics of statistical and graphicalmethods, differences between methodologies,strategies for conducting computer-aided statisti-cal designs (using JMP software by SAS), bias-corrected confidence intervals, re-sampling tech-niques for evaluating uncertainties, and the concepts of Bayesian estimation and smoothingestimators. They also overview increasingly usedtraffic microsimulation models. The text includeshomework problems, appended information onsoft modeling and nonparametric model building,and a companion website for access to data sets.”

By discussing statistical concepts in the context oftransportation planning and operations, this textprovides the necessary background for makinginformed transportation-related decisions. Itexplains the why behind standard methods anduses real-world transportation examples and prob-lems to illustrate key concepts. Classroom-tested at Texas A&M University, thetext covers the statistical techniques most fre-quently employed by transportation and pave-ment professionals. To familiarize readers with theunderlying theory and equations, it contains prob-lems that can be solved using statistical software.The authors encourage the use of SAS’s JMP pack-age, which enables users to interactively exploreand visualize data. Students can buy their owncopy of JMP at a reduced price via a postcard inthe book.
