Reviews

This is a very significant contribution to the field of wetland ecology. Playa wetlands are very widespread and important, yet there have been few attempts to pull together all of the playa scientific articles and studies into one place. It is especially valuable that this book summarizes many of the recent scientific discoveries about these wetlands. --Ted LaGrange, Wetland Program Manager, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission
