1.		Elemental Geosystems from Prentice Hall College Div Price: $1.69 Customer Review: The book arrived in excellent condition and even had a virtual code for the online book, which was a great surprise!

2.		North Carolina Waterfalls: A Hiking and Photography Guide from John F. Blair Publisher Price: $12.89 Customer Review: I gave this as a gift to my boyfriend who is a "waterfall buff" and hiker. The book gives info on where these falls are located and how to get to them. The book was a hit and I think anyone who is a hiker and loves waterfalls would love this guide..

3.		Introduction to Limnology from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $93.50 Customer Review: Written by a seminary in the field of Limnology, Ecology, and Aquatic Biology, Stanley Dodson's Limnology textbook is a complete reference of the above topics. Excellent illustrations and images, coupled with well-written text makes this text unusually accessible and useful throughout an... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Applied Hydrogeology/Book and Disk from Prentice-Hall Price: $49.00 Customer Review: I'm a lawyer with a background in physics, but none in hydrology. I got involved in water law and needed to understand what the hydrologists were saying. I was able to read this book and follow the development with little difficulty. I found that it addressed all the topics and used the same... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.	[no image]	Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It from Island Press Price: $16.16 Customer Review: When a bond buyer thinks about purchasing a safe revenue bond, they think about bonds backed by water. They don't think about water bottling companies taping acquifers and shipping the water elsewhere. Nor do investors think about where the water will come from to support the water demands of the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Water Resources Engineering from Wiley Price: $47.30 Customer Review: One of my coworkers had this book, I kept using it as a reference so I eventually bought my own copy. It is an outstanding textbook and an important reference book to have on hand. I highly recommned it. It is far better than the "Hydraulic Engineering" textbook I had in college.

7.	[no image]	A Guide to 199 Michigan Waterfalls from Friede Publications Price: $62.93 Customer Review: I have read the book, and we hope to utilize it this summer when we travel back to the U.P. Lots of directions to get to hard-to-find falls. Would love to see a companion map with all the falls labeled.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems from Waveland Press Price: $123.93 Customer Review: This is a great deal for a textbook. It covers the basics of hydrology and hydraulics very thoroughly, and better than most other water-resources textbooks. The figures in the third edition are better than in previous ones, though some additional photos or figures would be helpful to augment the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Atlas of Water, Second Edition: Mapping the World's Most Critical Resource from University of California Press Price: $13.57	Click here for more information


10.	[no image]	Limnology, 2nd edition from Harcourt Brace College Publishers Price: $97.50 Customer Review: Wetzel's "Limnology" is almost certainly a fixture on the bookshelf of every limnologist in the country (perhaps even the world). 1) Review of this product as a reference book: Wetzel has been a leader in the field of Limnology for decades. This book contains a combination of his vast... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Environmental Hydrology, Second Edition from CRC Press Price: $86.85 Customer Review: I received the book in perfect conditions, much earlier than I expected. It was really a good experience and I recommend it.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		A World Without Ice from Avery Price: $5.33 Customer Review: This is a typical alarmist book, claiming the climate is changing so rapidly that all the ice will melt and civilization will be destroyed because we use fossil fuels, but it is a little less bad than most. That is because Dr. Pollack admits some of the facts that sceptics use to... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Introduction to Water in California (California Natural History Guides) from University of California Press Price: $13.50 Customer Review: This is a gem of a book. A comprehensive overview of water issues in California. Filled with useful and relevant facts, it is told in a narrative style that is often (as least for those with an interest in water issues) so gripping it can be hard to put down. The book is small enough to fit in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Flotsametrics and the Floating World: How One Man's Obsession with Runaway Sneakers and Rubber Ducks Revolutionized Ocean Science from Harper Paperbacks Price: $7.48 Customer Review: Fans of writing will struggle with this book, because extracting meaning from Dr. Ebbesmeyer's banal, cliched prose is nearly impossible. The most tangible information in this text consists of names and dates, or other antiquarian considerations, like the number of pages contained in a memo written... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Water-Resources Engineering (2nd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $90.00 Customer Review: The book is very straight forward and explains a lot but does not give enough examples. Overall its a good book to use.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		A View of the River from Harvard University Press Price: $15.37 Customer Review: If you read Barry Lopez River Notes, this book is not that. There is a subtext that comes through -- Leopold loved his work, the outdoors life of a river surveyor, and the rivers he studied -- but this is not a book of naturalist poetry. What it is, is the digest of a lifetime's study of the fluvial... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Water: A Natural History from Basic Books Price: $9.43 Customer Review: We used this book as the spine for a homeschooling unit on watersheds - it's AWESOME! Clean water might be chemical, but it's also about beavers and systems and the way everything connects. Water is a profoundly clear book for beginners and for scientists who want to grasp the holistic viewpoint.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Introduction to Remote Sensing, Fourth Edition from The Guilford Press Price: $51.34 Customer Review: I would like to start by stating that I am a graduate student with some background in GIS enrolled in an introductory level Remote Sensing Course. This book goes into great detail on the topic of remote sensing. For an introductory level book, it is very technical and takes a lot of extra effort to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Rhythms of Life: The Biological Clocks that Control the Daily Lives of Every Living Thing from Yale University Press Price: $10.00 Customer Review: I had bought this book because the author had written a number of interesting editorials in the New York Times (or at least the version I read, the International Herald Tribune), and I also have a strong interest in Chinese medicine, which had already incorporated the body clock into its account of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Microhydro: Clean Power from Water from New Society Publishers Price: $13.25 Customer Review: I have a passing interest in small scale microhydro.I was an electrician and electronics tech in a previous life. Where this book goes wrong is probably its strong point at the same time. It is written for those that have some training in electronics and electrical engineering. An average Joe... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

23.		Sedimentary Rocks in the Field: A Color Guide from Academic Press Price: $28.09 Customer Review: An excellent guide for field work and student use in the field. Well written and produced. A very high quality product. This probably is not a guide for an inexperienced beginner in field work.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Arc Hydro: GIS for Water Resources from Esri Press Price: $37.77 Customer Review: My instructor couldn't really help me with what I wanted to do with my project. I started with needing to find a tool to analyze storm water run-off. I found this software, went out to ESRI's website, downloaded ArcHydro, and installed it. ESRI's site had tutorials on how to use the various tools... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		Open-Channel Hydraulics from The Blackburn Press Price: $59.99 Customer Review: This is not a book for novices of fluid mechanics. The example problems are very vague on the applications of the theorems introduced in the book. I found this to be more of a reference handbook for experienced individuals.

26.		Great Waterfalls of North Carolina: A Guide for Hikers, Photographers, and Waterfall Enthusiasts from Parkway Publisher Price: $12.29	Click here for more information


27.		Beyond the Moon: A Conversational, Common Sense Guide to Understanding the Tides from World Scientific Publishing Company Price: $32.45 Customer Review: If you're interested in a mostly non-technical detailed description of the forces that influence tides, read this book. I had to work a bit beyond the level of effort I'm used to putting into bedtime reading to understand some of the concepts and some of the author's personal anecdotes are a bit... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		Hydrology and Floodplain Analysis (4th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $129.05 Customer Review: Hydrology and Floodplain analysis is one of the best hydrology textbooks available. I first worked with this book in college and have been using it ever since as a practicing hydrologist and environmental engineer. The textbook is thorough and detailed with excellent examples and case studies. It... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		Hydrologic Analysis and Design (3rd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $110.99 Customer Review: This books is hard to read because of the extensive and monotonous writing in addition to lacking variety of examples. I took a semester of Hydrology Design, taught by Dr. Mc Cuen himself, in which he had to complement the lectures with numerous handouts with graphs, formulas, examples, and... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.		The Waterfalls of South Carolina from Palmetto Conservation Foundation Customer Review: Great book. Terrific pictures. Good directions. Limited corrections to some trails are needed since print date. Book was worth purchase price.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
