Among its other charms, this is an excellent textbook... The Algal Bowl is a work of scientific poetry.' The Literary Review of Canada 'The Algal Bowl is by no means a page-turner. Nor was it intended to be. But it should be required reading for every politician, civil servant, farmer, fisherman, hunter, paddler and cottage owner who has any stake in the management of freshwater in western North America. Like the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, the Algal Bowl has the potential to disrupt ecosystems, displace human populations and cause tremendous economic hardship. Those who doubt that possibility need only look at several populous Third World countries where potable freshwater is now a thing of the past.' Ed Struzik, Edmonton Journal 'Interesting and important' Bulletin of the British Ecological Society * 'The first Algal Bowl was a classic and really was influential for both the study of lakes and for people who appreciated the environment, especially the eutrophication of lakes. David Schindler is the ideal co-author for a new edition' Daniel Conley, University of Lund, Sweden * 'The previous edition was a milestone in its time. Both authors are outstanding and well-known. I believe that there is a worldwide need for this book' Martin Dokulil, Institute for Limnology, Austria 'Impeccable empirical science, written with vigour and precision.
