While the response of nature to such impacts is flexible in the way that all morphological changes with all the consequences are tolerated as part of the system, humanity cannot tolerate short-term or long-term changes without being threatened in its physical and economical existence. The objectives of this Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on Environmentally Friendly Coastal Structures were:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- to contribute to the critical assessment of existing knowledge in the field of coastal and environmental protection;\u003cbr\u003e- to identify directions for future research in that area;\u003cbr\u003e- to promote close working relationships between scientists from different countries and with different professional experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe latest trends in research on coastal and environmental protection were summarized and developed during the meeting. Seventeen papers are presented in this book, attempting to cover all related aspects as completely as possible – coast, engineering structures, water, sediments, ecosystems in their complicated interaction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005-05-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781402033001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45605130141836,"sku":"9781402033001","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402033001.jpg?v=1768927456","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402033001","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
