✦ Synopsis

This is, well illustrated, a geographic and hydrological monograph, originally written in German (Edition Leipzig 1981), describing rivers, the "arteries of the continents". The sections treat shapes of the valley, cataclysmic events in river history, waterfalls, fluvial and lowland rivers, rivers mouths and "rivers in harness". I n the Bibliography, primarily German publications are cited. Many papers cited in the text are not included, and recent monographs on river systems are missing. An expanded subject index helps to integrate the many details in the sections. The limnologist will profit from the many data. However, for hydrobiological information, he must refer to other monographs already available. Perhaps a limnologist should be encouraged to write an accompanying volume describing the rivers as living systems.
