Review
'Although there has been a great deal published on the topic of biodiversity the sheer size and scope of this volume must make it one of the most authoritative leading comments ... This must be seen as a work of the highest scholarship and a considerable step forward in the study of biodiversity - a classic of its kind ... a standard requirement for HE libraries, senior schools would also find much to recommend it.'

Global Biodiversity Assessment,
By Marnie Campbell (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Global Biodiversity Assessment (Paperback)
A useful textbook for students, scientists and policy makers. The information is extensive and detailed in a logical fashion, taking the reader from the basics of biodiversity through to human influences, economic values and conservation.
