1.3 References Although a study book has its own right to existence, there are some outstanding reference books in the field treated by this textbook and these are often far more comprehensive than any study book can be. Therefore a number of books and periodicals that should be available to anybody who will ever be in charge of design or construction of breakwaters and closure dams are mentioned here. For breakwaters such books include: Shore Protection Manual (Coastal Engineering Research Center [1984]), Manual on the use of Rock in Hydraulic Engineering (CUR/RWS [1995]), PIANC Working Group reports (Anonymous [1976]), Report of PIANC Working Group no. 12 [1993]). For closure dams reference may be made to: The Closure of Tidal Basins (Huis in ‘t Veld, Stuip, Walther, van Westen [1984]) and the Manuals of the Advisory Commission on Sea Defences (TAW, in Dutch). Useful periodicals include the Journals of the ASCE, the magazine “Coastal Engineering” and the proceedings of the international conferences on Coastal Engineering.
