'Hudson provides a sweeping treatise on the human impacts to large fluvial lowlands, covering cases from the Rhine to the Mississippi. Given the increasing effects of development and environmental change on these hydrologic systems, there could not be a better time or author to thoroughly examine this topic. Hudson's accessible writing style and attention to both problems and management solutions is a key resource for both students and practitioners.' Sam Brody, Texas A&M University
