Recenzii
' … [this] volume edited by Polunin provides an enriching, stimulating, and very enjoyable reading. It permits to understand and to appreciate the true complexity of life in the water as well as its vulnerability to our human activity. This book will be appreciated by professional scientists, students, school teachers, ecologically-oriented activists, and a broad audience of nature amateurs. It is very desirable to gather similarly talented teams of authors in order to write such books on the other types of ecosystems.' Paläontologie Allgemeine
'… a 'must' for all university libraries, and a thoroughly useful reference tome for undergraduates and graduates alike.' Progress in Physical Geography
