Reviews

"""This book is exceptional in that it represents the perfect balance of fundamental knowledge about aquatic ecosystems as well as lucid examples of how that knowledge can be applied to solve complex problems."" -- Steven J. Cooke, Professor, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada ""Great book for teaching and training. Unique in my view with a strong applied focus."" -- Margaret A. Palmer, Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland, and Director of the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center ""This book is perfectly timed to be an invaluable resource for students in upper-level and graduate classes. Moreover, it will be a major information source for freshwater managers, government agencies, and conservationists."" -- Klement Tockner, Ph.D., Director General of the Senckenberg Society for Natural Research, Frankfurt, Germany ""For factors ranging from sediment loading to polluting solutes and microplastics, Richardson vividly describes consequences to freshwater life but then presents case studies of rehabilitation and management efforts that are helping restore more natural regimes."" -- Mary E. Power, Professor, University of California, Berkley,"
