Willard Bascom, updated by Kim McCoy (2020)

Overview

First published in 1963 and updated in 1979, this classic handbook explores the complex power of waves and their interaction with the coast. Originally authored by Willard Bascom, it combined scientific theory, statistics, anecdotal observations, and personal experience. The 2020 revision by Kim McCoy incorporates contemporary data and events, addressing the significant impacts of climate change, particularly sea-level rise.
