DESCRIPTION:
The Lakes Handbook A Customer This book is the first of a two part series, edited by P. E. O'Sullivan of the School of Earth, Ocean and Environmental Sciences, University of Plymouth and C. S. Reynolds of the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Windermere. The purpose of the book is "to provide a sort of turn-of-the-century progress report, which brings together the most recent perspectives on the interactions among the properties of water, the distinguishing features of individual basins and the dynamic interactions with their biota". The immediate inspiration for this book came from the Rivers Handbook, and it has attempted to follow the same organisational str
I anticipate regular returns to my inspection copy." (African Journal of Aquatic Science, 2004) "the Editors and their contributors have provided a treasure chest of informationsearcherswould be well advised to recommend it to their librarians." SILnews"a powerful text of such scope and calibre as to set a benchmark for limnetic ecology in the 21st century. "However, I suggest that no serious contemporary lake limnologist should be without this volume on the desk or bookshelves. Achieving a range of disparate accomplishments, it could potentially re-catalyse lake limnology."African Journal of Aquatic Science
The Lakes Handbook provides an up-to-date overview of the application of ecologically sound approaches, methods and tools using experience gained around the world for an understanding of lakes and their management. Continuing concern about water supply and quality, ecosystem sustainability and restoration demands that the modern approach to the management of lakes and reservoirs should be based on a sound understanding of the application of the scientific and ecological principles that underlie freshwater processes. Volume two then considers lake management, with particular emphasis on sustainability, restoration and rehabilitation.This hand
