This is THE Book to have on a topic of global importance!,
By Dr. Rob Wilder (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Global Marine Biological Diversity: A Strategy For Building Conservation Into Decision Making (Paperback)
This book sublimely inspired me as few others have done. In my own personal collection of greatest books on the environment, I'd put Silent Spring, Wilderness and the American Mind, Sand County Almanac, works of A. Lovins--and precious few others; I'd personally rank this book among these very best.What this book does beautifully is to range across marine disciplines in a way that's at once understandable, quite managable, and also scientifically persuasive. We all presume to know know something of the environment from day to day living--but what we haven't been exposed to is the existence (and great importance of) global marine biological diversity in all it's facets. (Especially the wondrous curious biodiversity of deep seas). This book has opened my eyes to new ways of seeing how the sea around us works, and drawn me with great interest to the address the compelling biodiversity that Dr. Norse describes. I consider this book "A Must read" for any academic courses on the topic, and highly recommend it to both practitioners and anyone interested in the diverse ways of the sea. In my own 20 year career in marine biodiversity, I can think of no more seminal book than this one: it insightfully and brilliantly opens the marine realm to readers as a timeless classic. Bravo to Dr. Norse & the Marine Conservation Biology Institute!
