Water, Rivers and Creeks
A distinguished academic at the University of California, Berkeley, and former chief hydrologist at the US Geological Survey, Leopold offers as succinct a treatise on the principles and practice of hydrology as you could imagine...This is the kind of book students yearn for but seldom find. --The Times Higher<br /><br />Authoritative, engaging, well written, and easily accessible...The book should be required reading for any North American science teacher who has not a course in hydrology or water resources, and recommended reading for secondary-school students who anticipate college majors in science, engineering or public service. Further, this brief book may very well be the long-awaited required reading; about natural and managed water appropriate for all local and regional policy makers. Certainly the genius of the small, concise book is its engaging thoroughness presented with measured use of technical terminology. --Journal of Geoscience Education<br /><br />This is a delightful little book. I found myself marveling at Dr. Leopold s ability to pull so much together so succinctly. --David L. Freyberg, Stanford UniversityThis is a delightful little book.
