The authors of this book are highly qualified to prepare it, bringing a wonderful blend of biological and geological expertise to the subject of coral reef systems. The market for this book is significant, as there is currently a lack of comprehensive literature or databases that summarize the latest remote sensing imagery for global atolls. In terms of comparability, there is no similar book available on the market.
The treatment in this book utilizes state-of-the-art satellite imagery, updating the existing Atlas of Coral Reefs by Spalding et al., which was published more than 20 years ago. Atolls are a captivating subject of research in the biological/ecological and geological sciences due to their unique ring-like reef formation and laboratory-like, isolated environments.
The greatest strength and contribution of this book lies in its comprehensive analysis and summary of all these diverse atolls and their key characteristics in one place. The writing is excellent, striking a perfect balance between providing sufficient detail while also being accessible to a general reader. This book serves as a valuable resource for a wide range of higher education courses, including undergraduate and masters-level programs such as coastal processes and environments, coral reefs and climate change, and oceans, coasts, and climate.
One reviewer has expressed their high regard for this book, stating that it is a superb volume that is likely to be heavily referenced. The authors, who are considered pioneers in this field, have produced an authoritative and useful resource for a broad audience.
