Ocean Solutions, Earth Solutions Reviews

"An impressive and seminal work of collaborative scholarship, Ocean Solutions, Earth Solutions is very strongly recommended for personal, professional, community, governmental, and academic library Environmental Studies reference collections and reading lists."

--Michael J. Carson, Midwest Book Review


"This book has many merits, not the least of which is the unique GIS content that focuses on solutions to conundrums in the coastal zone. I found that the book provided an interesting and rewarding experience as I was exposed to subjects that I would not normally run across."
