The new
edition of this established textbook,
now with full colour illustration, has
been extensively revised and continues
to provide a comprehensive, stimulating,
readable and authoritative coverage of
freshwater habitats, their communities
and their functioning, the world over.
The work will be of great value to
undergraduate and graduate students,
fellow researchers and water managers,
and the plain language and lack of
jargon should make it accessible to
anyone interested in the functioning and
current state of lakes and rivers.
Having taught and researched over fifty
years and six continents, Professor
Brian Moss makes here extensive use of
his personal experience as well as the
huge literature now available on
freshwaters. This is the fifth edition
of his textbook, which, since the first
edition in 1980, has steadily evolved to
reflect a rapidly changing science and
environment. It places increasing
emphasis on the role of people in
damaging and managing freshwaters as we
move into the Anthropocene epoch and
face unprecedented levels of climate and
other changes, whilst rejoicing in the
fascination of what are left of near
pristine freshwater ecosystems.
Professor Moss retired from the
University of Liverpool following a
career in Africa, the USA and the UK. He
was awarded medals by the International
Society for Limnology, of which he was
President from 2007 to 2013, and The
Institute of Ecology and Environmental
Management. He was given The Ecology
Institute's Excellence in Ecology Prize
in 2009 and the book written for that
prize, Liberation Ecology, was
awarded the British Ecological Society's
best ecology book prize in 2013..
