From the reviews:
“The evolution and present characteristics of physical oceanography, marine chemistry and marine biology of the Sea are extensively discussed. … useful to students and postgraduates specialising in the research of inland seas and lakes. … this monograph will help the readers … especially in relation to the present-day conditions of this extremely interesting and unique water body with a tragic history, to assess the alterations that have occurred over the last 50 years, and to establish new strategies for its conservation and recovery.” (International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 91 (6), May, 2011)Editors and Affiliations
