While much of it is too specialized to serve as a stand-alone introductory text for the uninitiated (certainly more so than Volume 1), I suspect that this volume's appeal may be greater, given its strong applied focus. It promises a great deal for postgraduates commencing studies on lacustrine systems. No serious contemporary lake limnologist can afford to go without this volume. It is a must-have, and I anticipate frequent returns to my inspection copy of it.\" (African Journal of Aquatic Science, 2007)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \"...\u003ci\u003eThe Lakes Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable contribution to the understanding of limnology, a science poorly-supported by definitive texts and is highly recommended!\" \u003ci\u003eEnvironews, Southern Africa\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book is well organized and contains a wealth of information on lake restoration and rehabilitation...this is an excellent book and addresses its title very well.\" \u003ci\u003eEnvironmental Conservation, February 2006\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: General Issues.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
