Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book presents authoritative research on new experience in the field of coastal structures and breakwaters, particularly that which has led to advances in design procedures. It brings together the experience of an international authorship to cover the design and construction of coastal structures, particularly recent developments, the magnitude and effects of longer-term environmental changes, and the assessment of these structures and their relative safety.

Includes bibliographical references.
