" The] physical insight and presentation in this volume made it a pleasure to read ... I would heartily recommend this book to any researcher or graduate student working in shallow water acoustics. It presents an overview of a very active field from a fresh viewpoint, and with a fine feel for the basic physics of the medium. It is a book that is well worth the rather high price ... I would encourage you to add it to your bookshelf."
