This handsome book deserves to find a place on the bookshelves of students and lovers of Australian coastal waters, as well as amongst those assorted manuals, sailing directions and miscellania that cram a shelf near the chart table in offshore cruising craft. A handbook about coastal biology and landforms it is not: as the subtitle declares, this book is a guide to currents, waves, winds and weather. Broad in its coverage of most components of weather near the coast and explanatory in style, Laughlin’s book will also be useful to those who keep a weather eye open whilst making long-distance camping journeys through the outback, and is a good source book for those who fly light aircraft and wish to improve their understanding of the vagaries of the atmosphere and its winds.
