Reviews

This book is an excellent contribution to the literature of both the science and management of dreissenid mussels. It superbly documents the history and management of quagga and zebra mussels in our Western States. Anyone working with the policy and management of these organisms in the United States, should have this on their shelf. -Willard N. Harman, State University of New York, College at Oneonta Biological Field Station, in Management of Biological Invasions
