"Ultimately, the authors have succeeded in producing a single volume that serves both as a reference for those researching Antarctic lakes as well as an informative volume for those with limited experience in this subject." --Ecology "The book is well-written and illustrated. The features of Antarctic lakes are found nowhere else on earth, and this book allows a glimpse of these physical, chemical, and biological extremes." --Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research "It is a true joy to read this book or simply to scroll through to get basic information about one specific lake." --Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin "This is a very well written book that introduces Antarctic Lakes to the international science community. [A] valuable companion and synthesis for those interested in limnology in general and in the polar regions and extreme environments in particular." --Journal of Plankton Research "[A] valuable compilation and synthesis for those interested in limnology in general and in the polar regions and extreme environments in particular." --Journal of Plankton Research "Antarctic Lakes, written by two well-respected Antarctic researchers, describes these interesting lakes, in particular their physical and chemical limnology, biogeochemistry, and biological diversity.

The authors do a great job of describing the properties of the different types of lakes." --Quarterly Review of Biology "This book represents an important benchmark of knowledge. [A]s a reference text it will act to introduce a wider community to the scientific study of, and the conditions for, extreme life at the end of the planet. [T]his well-written, well-illustrated, and well-structured book will serve future generations well as a point of knowledge at this particular moment." --Ecological Restoration.
