BOOK REVIEWS D. M. GRAY (Ed. in-chief): Handbook on the Principles of Hydrology. Ottawa 1, Canadian National Committee for the International Hydrological Decade, No. 8 Building, Carling Avenue, 1970. $10. (Available from: National Research Council of Canada, Montreal Road, Ottawa 7.) This handbook contains material presented at a series of familiarization seminars on the principles of hydrology at the University of Saskatoon, supplemented by other contributions. It includes many tables, charts, figures and monograms often used by the practising hydrologist, who will be able to gain some appreciation of basic hydrological principles. Although many of the data used are based on conditions in Canada, the non-Canadian reader will find all sections of general interest. The clear, easily understandable form of the text makes it suitable for the teaching and training of students in hydrology, both at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels. Nature & Resources, No. 1, Jan., 1972. RAUL A. DEJU: Regional Hydrology Fundamentals. London, W.C. 1, Gordon & Breach, 12 Bloomsbury Way, 1971. 224 p. £8.10; $19.50. This textbook is of complex interdisciplinary nature and discusses the problems of achieving the best use of water from an entire basin. It covers aspects of geology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and engineering. The author considers regional problems in exploration, production, evaluation and utilization of surface as well as subsurface waters. IRVING K. FOX (Ed): Water Resources Law and Policy in the Soviet Union. Madison, Wis., University of Wisconsin Press, P.O. Box 1379; London, W. 1, American University Publishers Group, 27 Whitfield Street, 1971. 256 pp. £ 4 . 1 0 ; $8.50. This volume - the first book in English on the subject - seeks to explain Soviet water-resources management institutions and to compare them with those of the United States. Three Soviet documents (in Russian) form the basis of this work: 'Legislation on water use in the U.S.S.R', by O. S. Kolbasov; 'Problems of the complex use and conservation of water resources', by N. T. Kuznetsov; and 'Principles of water law of the U.S.S.R. and Union Republics'. 395
