The Lakes Handbook provides an up-to-date overview of the
application of ecologically sound approaches, methods and tools
using experience gained around the world for an understanding of
lakes and their management. Volume one of the Handbook addresses
the physical and biological aspects of lakes pertinent to lake
management, emphasising those aspects particularly relevant to
large, still bodies of water. Volume two then considers lake
management, with particular emphasis on sustainability, restoration
and rehabilitation.
This handbook will be invaluable to ecologists, environmental
scientists, physical geographers and hydrologists involved in
limnological research, as well as advanced undergraduate and
graduate students looking for authoritative reviews of the key
areas of limnological study.
