Recenzii
From the reviews:
"This is a substantial … book dealing with the delta of the Rhine and Meuse Rivers. … The book claims to be the first English language book integrating the environmental history of the Delta. … the target audience to be specialists in this area of environmental science. … students of ecology would also benefit from dipping into the interesting case studies if they can find it in the library." (Owen Jones, Bulletin of the British Ecological Society, Vol. 40 (1), 2009)
