Recenzii
Review of the hardback: '… a book that deliberately provides a wide and generous view of river landscapes …' Bulletin of the British Ecological Society
Review of the hardback: 'The Riverscape and the River is an interesting book that … contains some important observations and useful perspectives on the history and nature of riverscapes, and would be a welcome supporting text to an ecological library.' The Geographical Journal
Review of the hardback: '… very well prepared … a valuable contribution to the literature-base regarding river landscapes with a strong landscape ecological focus. The author sets the landscape and the scenery into focus which makes the book different from purely bio-physical or soil-science oriented volumes in existence. I would recommend individual chapters of the book also to non-landscape ecologists (e.g., social scientists or economists) for educational purposes, since they comprise excellent reading assignments for interdisciplinary discussions about landscape understanding and landscape complexity. In more general terms, I wholeheartedly recommend it to the entire spectrum of landscape ecologists, particularly to undergraduate and graduate students due to its character of a 'landscape reader'. Doubtless, it is a welcome systematic view on riverscapes for professionals, planners, and scientists, as well as laymen who are simply interested in riverine landscapes.' Landscape Ecology
Review of the hardback: '… a very worthwhile guide to the future management of river catchments and I came to the conclusion that Chapter 4 especially should be compulsory reading, as an awful warning, for all who seek to manipulate streams and rivers in our technological and ideological world.' Elizabeth Y. Howorth
