Identifies factors that make rivers and streams unique and places their biology in historical, geographical, and physical perspectives. Ecological, biogeographic and conservation issues are also addressed. Consideration is given to the links between stream and river channels and their surrounding landscapes and to short-term seasonal changes. Suggestions are made for practical and field work.
