Editorial Reviews

Review

"The authors and editor have succeeded in making the material accessible to the nonspecialist reader. The writing is generally clear and to the point and each article is followed by a glossary to assist those unfamiliar with the topic as well as by a short bibliography. The encyclopaedia should be helpful to government officials and lawyers."
--NATUREA
"Sterling effort worth a place on any library shelf, not least for its combination of academic rigour and environmental relevance... The greatest strength of these columns is the rigour of their editing."
--BBC WILDLIFE
"This encyclopedia will be a useful resource for any academic library."
--JOURNAL OF PESTICIDE REFORM
"The quality of scholarship is very high and all articles contain current bibliographies... For...professionals in environmentally related fields, the encyclopedia is very thorough and needed. An excellent specialized encyclopedia, useful for all college libraries and for professionals."
--CHOICE
"The set fills a void in reference collections in the area of environmental biology...The entries are readable and easy to understand without being too simplified, making the set appropriate for public, high school, and academic libraries...highly recommended."
--ARBA
