“This nicely illustrated handbook is designed for a wide audience, from scientists to the general public. ...Recommended.”
— C. Leck, The State University of New Jersey, writing in Choice, January 2008"This book is an excellent resource for the study of seasonal pools, and pulls together information from a diverse variety of sources."
– John Elliot and Keith Goldfarb, in Northeastern Naturalist, 2008, Vol. 15, No. 3
". . . includes a clear explanation of the science that leads directly to the policy and management recommendations presented in the book. For managers and policy makers in Northeastern North America the volume will be quite valuable; those working in temporary wetlands outside of Northeastern North America may also find examples and case studies applicable to their systems."
– Joel W. Snodgrass, Department of Biological Sciences, Towson University, in Phyllomedusa, Dec 2007, Vol. 6, No. 2
"This book is a valuable resource in the identification and ecology of seasonal pools which support many amphibians, insects, and invertebrates... the most comprehensive work I have seen to date. It is well researched, carefully prepared and a valuable resource for conservationists."
-Jim O'Neill, Can Field-Naturalist, 2007, Vol. 121, p.448
