Recenzii
“…a handsome – and hefty – book that provides detailed descriptions of 156 rivers that drain 22 distinct geographic regions in North America,… with chapters spanning the northernmost rivers of the Arctic, warm and humid tropical rivers of southern Mexico, and nearly everything in-between…. [P]rovides a wealth of new material that very much complements the first [edition],… worthy of occupying a prominent place in your library…. [Includes] helpful maps that illustrate geographic boundaries of the large river basins and physiographic provinces, as well as example graphics that introduce the reader to regional variation in precipitation, runoff, and evapotranspiration…. Each primary chapter takes us on a journey of multiple rivers within a geographic region and is co-written by experts – predominantly scientists and a few engineers – that study, manage, or work to protect these rivers…. There are many aspects of this book that will be valuable to dedicated readers,… a fantastic reference text.” --SILnews - Prof. Wyatt F.
