Review of Polar lakes and rivers: limnology of Arctic and Antarctic aquatic systems by Warwick F. Vincent and Johanna Laybourn-Parry

There are a number of books on polar ecosystems around including a few that are specifically devoted to lakes or ponds, but there is really no up-to-date, comprehensive work that covers all freshwater systems including running waters, both in the Arctic and Antarctic. This book fulfils such a demand and, clearly, few would be more competent to do this job than the two editors of this volume.(Published: 11 January 2011)Citation: Polar Research 2011, 30, 5928, doi: 10.3402/polar.v30i0.592
