Rezensionen
'... [presents] the mechanics of sediment motion alongside those subjects in fluid mechanics that are fundamental to understanding sediment transport. The interweaving of the two subjects is carried out particularly well ... Each topic is covered clearly, with many carefully designed figures, examples, and exercises ... an excellent primer on both fundamental concepts of sediment-transport theory and methods for practical applications. ... well written, and nicely illustrated, and it will serve as either a handbook for workers in the field or a textbook for beginning students of the subject. Julien has done a truly admirable job in making ... [a] difficult subject much more accessible to beginning Earth scientists and engineers.' Jonathan Nelson, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
