In his recent work, France presents his well-established, deep-down approach towards understanding and managing urban development in a watershed context. He does this by giving many examples of his and his colleagues’ studies. Actually, France . . . compiles and synthesizes some recent literature. This produces a book easy to read and with a clear emphasis. It is an elegant contribution to practical watershed science and a useful book for people dealing with urban planning and development. People from different academic disciplines will find something useful in it.
