“Patrick Lynch raises the bar for what a field guide can be. Despite the compact size, Streams is also a beautifully written primer on stream science—a remarkable achievement.”—David Skelly, Frank R. Oastler Professor of Ecology, Yale University, and director, Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History

“Pat has always been a master of visual communication, packing authoritative information into a book that still slips easily into a coat pocket. The graphics in this volume are not just beautiful—they’re incredibly effective at breaking down intricate processes and relationships.”—Twan Leenders, director of conservation, Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy

“Patrick Lynch’s wondrous book Streams: An Illustrated Guide will open your eyes to the fascinating dynamics of flowing waters and all the life that is nurtured by and in them: fish, eels, insects, frogs, plants, and much more!”—James Prosek, artist and author of Eels: An Exploration, from New Zealand to the Sargasso, of the World’s Most Mysterious Fish
