SciTech Book News

As a resource for librarians and other buyers of high-level books, SciTech Book News, published quarterly, cites about 2000 new books from several hundred publishers in each issue, offering concise reviews and annotations and thorough bibliographic information. The bibliography itself is arranged by subject, but this page and the other publisher pages present the material arranged by publisher.

Entries include title, author, series (in parentheses), publisher, copyright date, number of pages, price (at the time of listing), Library of Congress subject classification code, and ISBN. For scholarly and reference books, we note if they lack a subject index or a bibliography. Size is mentioned when the book exceeds 8.5x11 inches.

Landscape influences on stream habitats and biological assemblages.

1-888569-76-X

Papers from an August 2004 symposium held in Madison, Wisconsin, plus an additional five chapters prepared within a year of the symposium, shed light on current conceptual frameworks and tools for measuring and synthesizing links between the landscape and associated physiochemical and biological characteristics of rivers. Some specific topics covered include the influence of landscape features on summer water temperatures in lower Michigan streams, the importance of multiscale habitat relations and biotic associations in the conservation of an endangered fish species, and geomorphic and anthropogenic influences on fish and amphibians in Pacific Northwest coastal streams.

Salmon 2100; the future of wild Pacific salmon.

Ed. by Robert T. Lackey et al.

1-888569-78-6

Bringing together contributions from salmon scientists, salmon policy analysts, and salmon "advocates," Lackey (senior fisheries biologist at the US Environmental Protection Agency's research laboratory in Corvallis, Oregon), Lach (sociology, Oregon State U.), and Duncan (faculty research associate in forest resources, Oregon State U.) present 28 papers that have the overarching goal of critically evaluating the potential policy options for protecting and restoring wild salmon runs on the West Coast of North America. After three papers lay out the overall scientific and policy context, remaining contributions present recommendations that range from narrow technical prescriptions to fundamentally different philosophical approaches to salmon and their environment.
