Reviews

Listed in New Books, Physics Today May 2010new book announcement in Geomorhorum (Newsletter for the Geomorphology Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers) This will be an excellent text because of the clarity with which the various equations are dealt with. This will be an excellent book. Professor Sean Campbell, Dpartment of Geography, University of Kentucky but the relevance of the subject matter to a variety of water resource issues ensures that the text will have strong appeal to environmental engineers/scientists/planners, stream ecologists, aquatic biologists, and so forth. In summary, the text will be a welcome and important addition to the fluvial geomorphic literature. Professor Douglas Allen, Department of Geoscience, U.C.Berkeley

Author Information

S. Lawrence Dingman is the author of the most widely used university-level hydrology textbook (Physical Hydrology; 2nd ed. 2002) and a pioneering book introducing earth-sciences and natural-resources students to the hydraulics of natural streams (Fluvial Hydrology, 1984). He has also taught in the University of New Hampshire's Hydrology Program for 30 years while authoring over 40 published research papers and reports on cold-region hydrology, the hydrology of New England, and fluvial hydraulics.
