Rihard Primack's Essentials of Conservation Biology was the the first textbook to present the fledgling field of conservation biology in a comprehennsive fashion. His Primer of Conservation Biology presents complex topics in a manner that makes this information accessible to a wider readership. The book covers a broad range of topics that includes an accounting of the origins and history of the field of conservation biology. The basic operating principles are offered with numerous examples of their application to real world problems. The author has chosen these examples from many different parts of the world so that all readers can relate to the practical approaches cited. This book serves as an excellent introductory text for readers that want a thorough introduction to conservation biology and access to the jargon of the field. I have recommended this book to students considering entering the field as well as to non-scientists that wish to become familiar with the basics of this new branch of science.

Book came within a day of order and on time!! Also in condition that was listed as. Would buy from here again!! Thank you!

The book is small and easy to transport around, unlike many of the other textbooks we are assigned these days. It's easy to read, clear, concise, and some of the more applicable sections are interesting to read.

This was a required text for a college class. It is easy to read though, and does emphasize the concepts covered in the Biodiversity class.

It's a very good book with relevant information for the class i'm taking. it's up to date with the newest information.
