Limnology
“Limnology” by Charles Goldman, published by McGraw-Hill Companies in 1982, is a comprehensive study designed for students in biology and environmental sciences. This edition spans 464 pages and explores the intricate physics, chemistry, and biology of lake systems. Through a variety of ecosystem examples from regions including Africa, the Americas, and Europe, the text illustrates fundamental concepts in limnology while highlighting the diversity of lake characteristics such as size, basin shape, climate, and biota.
Readers will find a focused examination of major subjects, including the physical conditions within lake systems and their environmental applications. The book emphasizes the success of large rivers, streams, and estuaries, providing a thorough understanding of limnology’s principles. By limiting the number of topics, Goldman ensures that key areas are explored in depth, making this text a valuable resource for those studying aquatic ecosystems.
Official synopsis Publisher
Intended for biology and environmental sciences students, this study of lake systems covers the physics, chemistry, and biology of lakes. The text includes ecosystem examples to illustrate basic concepts in limnology. The examples are drawn from all over the world – Africa, the Americas, Antarctica, the Arctic, Europe, Japan, and New Zealand. This wide array of examples allows the authors to point out marked differences in size, basin shape, climate, and biota while illustrating a unity of principles in limnology. The number of topics is limited so that major subjects – such as physical conditions within lake systems, applications to the environment, and the success of big rivers, streams, and estuaries – can be covered in more depth.
