"""Alterman and Pellach have created an important book that provides up-to-date knowledge of current practices infused with a comparative analysis of coastal regulation across the globe. Considering the shortcomings related to implementation of the normative aspects of the well-known ICZM, this edited book fills a significant gap and makes an essential investigative contribution. The editors provide much needed information about regulatory practices, complementing research on the normative aspects of ICZM. This updates earlier seminal works, provides a fresh (and somewhat unconventional) look and thus adds significantly to current scholarship in the field. I fully endorse this book as indispensable for myriad scholars and practitioners."" -- Michelle Portman PhD, Author of Environmental Planning for Oceans and Coasts: Methods, Tools, Technologies. Associate Professor, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology Vice Dean for Students Affairs, Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning ""Coastal systems and cultures are necessarily unique, but many of the conflicts over how to live within and use them are universal, and the need for effective ways to reconcile those conflicts is increasingly pressing. This collection and synthesis of cross-national scholarly reflections contributes greatly to our understanding of what is unique and what is universal across both settings and cultures. It provides insights that are grounded in the real-world challenges of both crafting and implementing effective solutions, and that are uniquely valuable in their comparative perspective."" -- Richard K. Norton, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Michigan"
