Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Biogeography is still a young and dynamic integrative discipline, and this volume reflects the excitement and promise of new challenges and opportunities. ... I recommend anyone who thinks they might be a biogeographer at heart, if not in title, to read this book. It should be required reading for every graduate student in a biogeography-related program and at least consulted by any conservation-minded person with a solid background in science. --Susan L. Woodward, The Quarterly Review of Biology
Anyone interested in biogeography on a local or global scale will find this timely and provocative reading. --Northeastern Naturalist
For anyone who wishes to stretch their understanding of how ecosystems have come to be where they are today, for anyone challenged with trying to make decisions about resources and their future sustainability, this volume, with its 51-page list of referenced works, is an invaluable reference. --Brian McLaren, The Forestry Chronicle
