Notă biografică
Dr. Stephen Leatherman, Professor and Director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University, has authored/edited 16 books on coastal science, including one on beach safety published by Yale University Press in 2003. He holds his doctorate in coastal environmental sciences from the University of Virginia (1976).
Descriere
An examination of advances in rip current research, this book provides a better understanding of the dynamics, mechanisms, and predictability of rip currents. A practical guide, it bridges the gap between rip current science and the implementation of appropriate public safety education. Coverage includes rip current prediction and modeling; case studies from the UK, Brasil, the United States, and Japan; rip currents in the Great Lakes; public safety procedures; the legal implications of rip current drowning; and more.
