Conservation Zusammenfassung

Conservation Clive Hambler (University of Oxford)

Conservation by Clive Hambler is the latest addition to the popular Studies in Biology series of undergraduate textbooks. The book gives an overview of all aspects of this rapidly changing and controversial field. With the decline of species and our encroachment of natural habitats, conservation is becoming increasingly in the public eye. Maintaining the diversity of life on this planet and using our natural resources in a sustainable manner is important to protect the options of future generations. An understanding of conservation biology is essential to debates and action on the environment. As with all books in the series, Conservation will act as an aid to learning, and to field work. It is meant to be used as an introductory text and as a study aid for examinations.

Conservation Bewertungen

'The outcome is a text that is concept-based, readable, and balanced in its presentation. There are now many texts available on this subject, but in my view this is the best current introduction to conservation.' BES Bulletin
'... while short, and wide ranging in coverage, the author is taking a particularly thoughtful and broad take on this topic. It is quite readable and consistent in style ... I think it is stimulating reading from a North American perspective, since he draws on many European and tropical Asian examples that sometimes provide contrast with how we typically view our ecosystems ... It is a highly readable, portable book that should be good at stimulating discussion in the classroom, and should provide both academics and practitioners a useful reference for this broad topic. It should be particularly valuable for ecologists working on the management of protected areaas ... broad coverage of the field and rich examples ...' Ecology
"It is a highly readable, portable book that should be good at stimulating discussion in the classroom, and should provide both academics and practitioners a useful reference for this broad topic." Ecology, Paul Alaback, University of Montana, College of Forestry and Conservation
