Editorial Reviews

A large number of one-page contributions are presented in an attempt to build a comprehensive multidisciplinary common ground for the establishment of a common language and the definition of objectives in the protection and maintenance of inland water bodies. The editors attempt a broadly gauged approach that brings in the fields of law, biology, architecture, engineering, geology, agronomy, hydrological science, and more. Little overarching structure is provided and the work lacks a subject index. It is not noted what the CD-ROM contains. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
