“I enjoyed reading Flood Risk in the Upper Vistula Basin. … the editors made a strong effort to organize the 4 major sections into coherent themes that cover a range of flood-relevant issues. … There is also a comprehensive and well-written introduction to the region, describing its history, culture, and geography. … The availability of this book in English will enable comparative studies with floods in other mountainous regions.” (Witold Krajewski, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 37 (4), November, 2017)
