A concise but comprehensive introduction to the biology of standing waters (lakes and ponds). As with other books in the Biology of Habitats Series, the emphasis in this book is on the organisms that dominate freshwater environments. Management and conservation aspects are also considered. The first edition of the book published in 1998 with a second, revised edition in 2005. There has been significant development in the field since the last revision appeared, particularly in the ecology of lakes and ponds in subtropical and tropical areas, and a new revision of this now classic text is timely.

Like the first 2 editions (1998, 2005), this one offers an excellent integration of information on limnology, ecology, evolution, and environmental science and a focus on adaptation of organisms to aquatic environments. In this edition, the authors incorporate new concepts, findings of current research, and discussion of new threats to aquatic biodiversity. * Conservation Biology * It does an excellent job at introducing a remarkably wide array of limnological concepts for such a small book. It is very readable and its style will inspire many undergraduate students. * Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin *
