✦ Synopsis

going to be a compromise between general ecological principles and specialized freshwater details. For the student interested in freshwater ecology alone, the cost of this hardback book may be prohibitive. This is a shame, as its real value lies in the introduction, and application to the freshwater environment, of broader ecological principles and how human activities can affect ecosystems. Realization of the considerable value of this text to the study of ecology, with a speciality in fresh waters, will therefore depend upon the insight and interest of teachers. For the professional aquatic scientist, it would be impossible not to learn from this book, and to find it useful as a key into ecological principles and their supporting literature.
