Book review. Coastal Storms– Processes and Impacts.

This book is aimed at undergraduate students and professionals in the field, providing a first-of-its-kind, in-depth overview of the effects of storms on a variety of coastal environments. Chapter 9 is devoted to the role played by storm clustering while chapter 10 looks in detail at the most up-to-date advances in the numerical modelling of storm dynamics and effects. In the concluding chapter, the editors quite rightly highlight that the book covers only the marine aspects of storm processes, mainly waves and surges, and the part that the wind can play in these phenomena.
