'... it will generate healthy argument among students, scientists and conservationists. The liberal use of figures and an excellent bibliography will provide the advanced undergraduate or researcher with a good starting point for further work.'Edward Maltby, The Times Higher Education Supplement, '... it should be on the shelf of anyone working with wetland plant communities.' Arnold van der Valk, Trends in Ecology & Evolution, '... an essential read for industry and local authority mineral planners, consultants and all involved in site restoration'. Mineral Planning, '... an essential read for industry and local authority mineral planners, consultants and all involved in site restoration'.Mineral Planning, '… this book can be recommended to the wetland scientists … and to planners and managers concerned with wetland areas.' I. G. Simmons, International Journal of Environmental Studies, '... an excellent reference ... this is a classical ecology text dedicated to wetlands, and it is written in a familiar, conversational manner. The text is clear and easy to follow with relatively little jargon, which allows the information to be accessible to non-ecologists, as well as the general public.’Paul D.

The text is clear and easy to follow with relatively little jargon, which allows the information to be accessible to non-ecologists, as well as the general public.' Paul D. Brooks, EOS, "Keddy's text succeeds in challenging ecologists, and particularly wetland ecologists, to strengthen their science as a unified endeavor. He deserves a wide readership, both among those who accept his interpretations of data and among those who do not. His challenging vision insists that research go beyond studies of individual wetlands as isolated entities so that this research can contribute to our understanding of these ecosystems and the factors that shape them. Then we can better preserve and manage the wetlands that still exist across our planet. May he inspire many to do just that!" Ecology, '... this book can be recommended to the wetland scientists ... and to planners and managers concerned with wetland areas.'I. G.

Fifty pages of references make the book especially valuable to researchers and students." Wildlife Activist, 'I highly recommend it to all interested in wetlands and their conservation, and to those who manage and design wetlands.'

Examples from all over the world are included." Aquaphyte
