Conservation - 04 edition

Clive Hambler is a lecturer in biological and human sciences at Hertford College and the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, UK.

'... 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
