Reviews for Pennak's Freshwater Invertebrates of the United States: Porifera to Crustacea

I recommend this book to all freshwater ecologists (Freshwater Forum, No.18 2002)<p> The 4th Edition Continues to be an excellent treatise about the adaptation of invertebrates to freshwater environments. (Journal of the North American Benthological Society, June 2002)<p>. ..The book is beautifully produced, will be a boon to North American users, and a means of broadening the knowledge of students everywhere. (The Naturalist)<p> Such a practical writing style makes the book easy to use and a perfect, one of its kind, laboratory manual. ( Quarterly Review of Biology , September 2002)
