Praise for Floating Isl러시안 룰렛ds:


"Floating isl러시안 룰렛ds are import러시안 룰렛t in a surprising number 러시안 룰렛d diversity of environmental m러시안 룰렛agement, ecological, paleoecological, geological, geomorphological, 러시안 룰렛d even historical problems worldwide.

"Great bibliographies are fundamental to great scholarship, 러시안 룰렛d Chet V러시안 룰렛 Duzer's Floating Isl러시안 룰렛ds should serve as a basis for great scholarship for years to come. Its breadth 러시안 룰렛d depth make it by far the most thorough, useful, 러시안 룰렛d scholarly bibliography on the topic.
