Overall, this text offers significant insight from two leading researchers in the field, and will serve as a valuable tool for those individuals who wish to delve further into the research. Essential. * Choice * This book is at once a memoir and love letter to a couple of brilliant research careers, and essential reading for those early-career scientists and others entering the stream fish community ecology topic now, who need to catch up. In both regards, the book is a real pleasure to read. For agency scientists involved in biomonitoring using fishes, and stream restoration, this book should be considered a primer in just how much we do, and do not, understand about the underlying factors that dictate why fishes are where they are. * Reviews in Fisheries Science and Aquaculture * In conclusion, Stream Fish Community Dynamics-A Critical Synthesis represents a valuable synopsis of the tremendous scientific careers of Bill and Edie Matthews, careers that will continue to influence generations of future scientists. * Fisheries Magazine *
