The Biology of Freshwater Wetlands

This book is readable and with suitable illustration and has an added feature in that there are suggestions for practical projects that will enhance our understanding. I found it to be of interest and importance. Mark Young, Bulletin of the British Ecological Society 2006, 37:4 Van der Valk has provided us with a great, well-balanced, educational book that deals with a very complex ecosystem. It will certainly inspire future readers to delve further into the intricacies of wetland ecosystems and motivate them to be more observant in the field.
