Editorial Reviews
Review
`Review from previous edition In my view the main strength of this book is its success in bringing together the whole of aquatic ecology in sufficient depth and breadth. All this within some 200pp (edition 1) and with excellent graphics. ' Jan Vermaat, Institute for Environmental Studies, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
`The style is just right and provides a good balance of generality and specific case studies. The level is also good and the style doesn't rely too heavily on jargon, which makes the book accessible. I feel that the quality of descriptions of the various issues and case studies is excellent - very clear and concise. ' Simon Rundle, School of Biological Sciences, University of Plymouth --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
