Rezensionen

From the reviews of the first edition:

"From fifteen case studies, this book revisits the definition of estuaries as sediment traps, with sediment importing both from the sea and from the rivers. ... the two editors brought a wealth of knowledge from both sides of the Atlantic. ... The scientific quality of all the papers is good to excellent; the editors did an excellent job there. It is a very useful book on case studies in modern marine biology." (Eric Wolanski, Journal of Sedimentary Research, December, 2006)
