Kenneth H. Mann received the first Lifetime Achievement Award of the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography in 1994.
Praise from Reviewers:
"Ecology of Coastal Waters: With Implications for Management,
Second Edition is a thorough synthesis that describes the
processing of materials in nearshore ecosystems, with an emphasis
on the importance of this information for policy issues. The book
will be useful as a text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate
students interest in coastal marine ecology and resource
management. Ken Mann's style is easy to read and informative.
--Merryl Alber, PhD, Department of Marine Sciences, University of
Georgia
"I found few books that give a broad introduction to this subject.
Mann's book appears to fill this gap, and I will very likely adopt
it as a text when it is published."
--Chris Tanner, PhD, Department of Biology, St. Mary's College of
Maryland
