520 _a"Well-structured, easy to navigate and readable, clearly explaining even complex concepts. Enough of this ambitious volume is sufficiently timeless to ensure that it becomes an instant classic-an essential addition to the (wooden or electronic) bookshelf of freshwater ecologists from undergraduates onwards-and remains a key point of reference for many years to come. Get the book!" - Rachel Stubbington, Nottingham Trent University, Freshwater Biological Association (FBA) Newsletter 2023 "Two renowned stream ecologists summarize the current knowledge on lotic ecosystems from an ecologist's perspective. From the preface, the authors' sincere passion for running water systems is obvious, they write from an engaged and motivated perspective, while still retaining scientific rigor and objectivity. A great resource for graduate students and scientists working on the ecology of streams and rivers, and probably also for practitioners involved in the management of lotic ecosystems. This book's appeal goes wide beyond the stream and river ecologist communities. For terrestrial ecologists, lake limnologists, oceanographers who want to have an in-depth overview of running water systems, this book is a fantastic resource and sure to find a broad readership." - Patrick Fink, ASLO Bulletin 2024 "This is an excellent textbook that was a pleasure to read. Attractively bound, it consists of 10 chapters, numerous high-resolution figures and 15 authoritative 'topic boxes'. The Biology & Ecology of Streams and Rivers should be considered an essential desk reference for all stream and river ecologists and be required reading for all undergraduate and graduate classes that focus on freshwater ecology." - Alexander Huryn, University of Alabama, SIL NEWS, the newsletter of the International Society of Limnology
