"Explaining the needed scientific background at the right level for all likely readers is a particularly hard task, and here Catania does better than some of my favorite scientists and science writers. By focusing on what he, as an experienced instructor of undergraduates, assumes will confuse novice readers, the author covers the necessary background with just enough detail and without being pedantic."---Philip K. Stoddard, Quarterly Review of Biology

From the reviews:

"This volume of ‘Ecological Studies’ helps physiologically oriented scientists to obtain a view of their research at higher scales and/or organizational levels. For the ecologically oriented researchers … it helps to get insight in mechanisms at a smaller scale and some insight into the extensive progress in molecular-biological research. This book is really worth reading more than once because there are a lot of specific and general aspects that are not found in other books in such a broad perspective." (Dieter Horlacher, Journal of Plant Physiology, Vol. 164, 2007)
"In this book fifteen authors in twelve chapters review various factors influencing nutrient uptake by plants. … The book is a highly valuable extension of basic textbooks about nutrient acquisition by plants. I would recommend it most strongly to all ecologists who want to read a clear introductory review on each of the announced topics and as a starting source of relevant references." (Stanislav Brezina, Folia Geobotanica, Vol. 41 (4), 2006)

“While the editors emphasize that their contributors are not always in agreement, there is a notable coherence to this volume, reflecting the evidently thorough preparation… This reviewer found much food for thought here, especially in Gow’s fascinating multi-dimensional autoethnography, prompted by a question arising from an indigenous epistemology. Such critical ethnography of the ontoepistemological foundations of our multiple personal pasts offers, at the same time, a window on the human condition.”  ·  Social Analysis

"Sozialwissenschaftliche und juristische Hochschulforschung werden in dieser gelungenen Arbeit großartig zusammengeführt. [...] Zu empfehlen ist dieses Buch allen, die sich mit Hochschulen in Deutschland befassen. Insbesondere auch Personen, die direkt von den Reformen der Landeshochschulgesetze betroffen sind, sowohl auf der Ebene der Verwaltung als auch in den Reihen der forschenden und lehrenden Hochschulmitglieder. Unentbehrlich ist dieses Buch für diejenigen, deren Forschungsthema die Universitäten in Deutschland sind." ZfE - Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft, 2-2012

“The book is friendly written and is of a rich content. With simple examples, main ideas of the study are clearly explained and naturally extended to a general framework, so that main progress in the field made for the past decades is presented in a smooth way. The monograph is undoubtedly a significant reference for further development of diffusion semigroups and related topics.” (Feng-Yu Wang, zbMATH 1376.60002, 2018)“It is extremely rich. It is more original and inspirational than a treatise. One can use it and benefit from it in many ways: as a reference book, as an inspiration source, by focusing on a property or on an example. … From the beginning to the end, this book definitely has a strong personality and a characteristic taste. … anybody who wants to explore analytic, probabilistic or geometric properties of Markov semigroups to have a look at it first.” (Thierry Coulhon, Jahresbericht der Deutschen Math-Vereinigung, Vol. 119, 2017)“This impressive monograph is about an important and highly active area that straddles the fertile land occupied by both probability and analysis. … It is written with great clarity and style, and was clearly a labour of love for the authors. I am convinced that it will be a valuable resource for researchers in analysis and probability for many years to come.” (David Applebaum, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 100 (548), July, 2016)

“This book comprehensively reviews the research on the effects of dietary patterns and whole plant foods in aging and disease. … This is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals in practice.

One of the highlights of the book is a long essay in which Coleman articulates his current thinking on many of the issues raised in the articles. For those with broad interests in legal theory, there is much here to provoke reflection. For those with more specialized interests, the book provides a lively introduction to the issues that have engaged Jules Coleman for the last couple of decades. / Kenneth Einar Himma, Dept. of Philosophy, University of Washington / The Law and Politics Book Review, Vol. 9 , No. 2, Feb 1999.

From the reviews:"Groundwater Geophysics demonstrates the use of geophysics for the detection and delineation of groundwater resources. … This book covers a lot of material in geophysics and does a pretty good job of it. Besides serving as a reference book, I could see this book being used as a textbook for a groundwater geophysics course. … The index at the end of the book is extensive … . I think this book would be a good addition to the bookshelf of a geophysicist … ." (David C. Bartel, The Leading Edge, January, 2007)From the reviews of the second edition:“This book is a collection of independent chapters written by 27 contributing authors, most of whom have academic or research backgrounds. … it is targeted toward both students and professionals. … Groundwater Geophysics: A Tool for Hydrogeology has a strong northern European emphasis in both the technologies and applications presented. The text provides good phenomenological descriptions, and there are extensive reference lists for additional reading. … a well-packaged … and it is a useful library resource.” (Peeter E.
