Reviews

I enjoyed reading Flood Risk in the Upper Vistula Basin. ... the editors made a strong effort to organize the 4 major sections into coherent themes that cover a range of flood-relevant issues. ... There is also a comprehensive and well-written introduction to the region, describing its history, culture, and geography. ... The availability of this book in English will enable comparative studies with floods in other mountainous regions. (Witold Krajewski, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 37 (4), November, 2017)
