Hutchinson G.E. A Treatise on Limnology. Volume 1 - Geography, Phisics and Chemistry

This book is the first volume in a two-volume work, which when finished will give as complete an account as possible of the events characteristically occurring in lakes. It examines the whole sequence of interdependent geological, physical, chemical, and biological events that operate together in a lake basin. In his comprehensive treatment of the subject, the author addresses the book to workers in limnology and other fields as well. Biologists will welcome the coverage of the physicochemical environment, mode of life, and evolutionary significance of freshwater organisms. The work is an invaluable reference for geologists who want to know something of modern lakes to interpret better the record of inland waters in past times. Oceanographers can compare the results of their own science with what has been learned of the small but very individual bodies of water which make up the nonmarine part of the hydrosphere.
