But as a thwarted fisheries ecologist, I’d happily agree with whoever made that claim for this book, and not just because at 900 pages and 2.7kg it fits both possible definitions of the term landmark, being simultaneously ‘an object recognizable from a distance’ as well as ‘an event marking a stage or important turning point’.\u003cbr\u003eTrying to provide a comprehensive account of inland fisheries worldwide is a daunting task, one that could not sensibly be tackled by a single author, or even a small group. You need a big international team, recruited and guided by someone with experience of fisheries in different climates and cultures, able to identify and bring together a diverse collection of authors, capable of encouraging them to write contributions to meet a common aim rather than to their own agenda, and someone with the ability to edit many contributions into a coherent whole. Persuading John Craig to take on the role was a masterstroke; the longserving editor of the Journal of Fish Biology has the perfect meld of research experience, editorial expertise and familiarity with the writing skills of the population of fisheries scientists. The result is a book drawing together the expertise of over 100 high-calibre contributors that works as a coherent whole, and as a resource likely to stand the test of time. Contributions of varying length are grouped together in eight sections, on topics such as the basics of freshwater ecosystems; freshwater resources of fisheries by geographical region; fishing operations; fishery management; fisheries development; the effects of perturbations; and a final section on future developments.\u003cbr\u003eNo volume of this type is ever going to be perfect and there are doubtless a few gaps and inconsistencies in the coverage. But the flaws are utterly trivial compared to the strengths, and if I were still an aspiring young fish biologist, or an academic freshwater biologist, a fisheries manager or consultant, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy my own copy. I know, I know, eighty pounds for a book makes the eyes water, but you can get a guided tour of the whole world of fisheries ecology for trivially more than the cost of renewing a UK passport. The book will last you at least as long and make much more interesting reading\". \u003cb\u003e(BES Bulletin Vol 48:3 September 2017)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Editor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Craig\u003c\/b\u003e is Editor-in-Chief of the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Fish Biology\u003c\/i\u003e and has an enormous range of expertise and a wealth of knowledge of freshwater fishes and their ecology, having studied them around the globe, including in Asia, North America, Africa, the Middle East and Europe.
