[A] valuable reference book that belongs in the library of any geologist, archeologist, coastal geomorphologist, or other scientist who works at sites along Alaska's shore, as well as any person who is interested in the coastal environments of America's largest state. This book could be used to teach a directed, topical class or as part of a seminar on the coastal environments and natural hazards of Alaska. This book is an important contribution toward introducing the diverse coastal environments of Alaska to anyone who lives, works in, or cares about the spectacular coastal areas of Alaska."
