From the book reviews: "The book focuses on dune systems in the northern hemisphere, with case studies from across Europe and North America, as well as consideration of southern hemisphere analogues. ... Each chapter stands alone, with its own reference list, and the text is accompanied by useful color images and diagrams. This book will be a useful reference for professionals working in land management and conservation of sand dunes, as well as students and academics interested in dynamic systems."
