5.0 out of 5 stars All-around best ecology book for general readers, April 10, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pond and Brook: A Guide to Nature in Freshwater Environments (Paperback)
Let me get right to the point--this is a great book for learning about aquatic ecology. It's all the things many conventional textbooks are not--readable, concise, interesting and useful in the field. I highly recommend this book for kids in grade 8 and up, for adults who need a concise and thorough introduction to ecology and environmental issues, and for anyone with a naturalist bent. If I were going to teach a high school or community college course in ecology, this is the book I would use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pond and Brook A guide to Nature in Freshwater Environments, July 10, 2003

This review is from: Pond and Brook: A Guide to Nature in Freshwater Environments (Paperback)
Great ecology guide to aquatic life. It takes you from the chemistry of water through a section on glaciers and into life in a pond, stream, and a wetland. Great guide for elementary/middle school teachers and would make a great text for a high school course.
