Küsten, Seeufer und Flußlinien gehören zu den ältesten, aber auch strittigsten Grenzen der Menschheit: Land und Wasser sind in ständiger Bewegung begriffen. Rechtliche und technische Aspekte bei der präzisen Festlegung gerechtfertiger Grenzen sind in diesem Buch zusammengefaßt, das seine Vollständigkeit zu einem unentbehrlichen Hilfsmittel für Landvermesser, Planer und Juristen macht.
