Tropical Rain Forests: An Ecological and Biogeographical Comparison by Richard B. Primack |
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Emerging Threats to Tropical Forests provides cutting-edge and up-to-date chapters written by leading scientists. . . . . [It] is written lucidly and provides topical information on issues of great interest to conservation biologists. It is intended to be cross-cutting and should appeal to a wide audience, including resource managers, conservationists, economists and students, in addition to biologists and scientists. This book is yet another reminder that efforts to conserve tropical forests should intensify if their current decline is to be halted, or even reversed."-Navjot S. Sodhi, Trends in Ecology and Evolution
Review
"A thought provoking and current overview of the sources of risk to the biodiversity of tropical forests. It would make for a useful volume for a graduate or advanced undergraduate seminar class. Its summaries of emerging threats constitute a report card on how well scentists and consertvationists are doing in grasping the magnitude and complexity of human-caused changes in the tropics."-Kenneth R. Young, Plant Science Bulletin (Kenneth R. Young Plant Science Bulletin )
"In his foreword, Thomas E. Lovejoy writes that ''this book is unquestionably the best and most up-to-date effort to document the chilling panoply of threats to tropical forests.''--I do agree!" (Francois M. Catzeflis ScienceDirect )
"With 23 essays by 49 contributors, Emerging Threats to Tropical Forests offers a pan-tropical overview of the formidable challenges we continue to face in the field of tropical forest conservation....An excellent book. . . . All of the contributing authors bring original insights and critical information to our ongoing consideration of the problem of tropical forest conservation. This book is especially recommended for tropical ecologists, resource managers, and conservation educators, but it is relevant for all readers interested in the future of this fundamentally important global resource."-Karin Rita Gastreich, Ecology (Karin Rita Gastreich Ecology )
"The book deals with a topic of major conservation importance, is wide-ranging in scope, and includes many genuinely insightful chapters written by leading researchers."-John Kanowski, Austral Ecology (Austral Ecology ) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
