Hydrology and the River Environment

`Newson's textbook is a first class addition to this field.' Dr C.R. Firth, West London Institute `A good introductory text, broad in scope, and interestingly written.' Dr D.N. Collins, University of Manchester `This is an excellent text for first year work and provides important background to final year work.' J. Sinclair, Nene College, Northampton `well illustrated and structured. A useful introduction to a broad range of issues' Dr T.A.S. Bowyer-Bower, SOAS `The book is a good introductory text for undergraduate work. It's strength is that it covers a large range of environmental aspects.' J.W. Lloyd, University of Birmingham `This book provides a comprehensive overview of the hydrological cycle and is particularly applied to the river and its catchment area.' Mr Sinclair Buchan, University College of North Wales `A very useful first level text that takes hydrology beyond the confines of a pure science.' Dr A.S. Tricker, University of Dundee `An excellent, very readable and useful text ... should prove popular with students.' Peter Sims, University of Plymouth `An excellent text.' M.R. Bristow, University of Manchester `A refreshingly different approach to a vast area of knowledge. Highly original illustrations provide stimulating reinforcement of the ideas being described.' Dr M.J. Crick, University of Hertfordshire `Useful well-illustrated and up-to-date text.' Dr Howard R. Fox, University of Derby `Very clearly written and excellent illustrations. Major strengths - Integration of theory and application, attention to contemporary issues such as flood hazard and pollution.' Donald A. Thompson, Royal Hollway, University of London `Throughout the book the style is lucid and the diagrams are of a particularly high quality. There is also a refreshingly good range of examples drawn from the UK situation, backed up with detailed maps, tables and diagrams ... a useful companion text to the numerous basic studies of hydrology which concentrate more on the purely scientific and engineering aspects of the subject.'
