An enriching text, the best of the best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I have come across Principles of Conservation Biology, while I was an undergraduate student. I remember wondering these times, whether I have changed or that textbook makes itself read. These days we had to read to get good grades, and we used to read literature to entertain ourselves; until this book. This book is both a textbook and a philospphy, a literature, a travel journal, a life book. It synthesizes and delivers so diverse subjects so nicely, elegantly and fully that, it becomes the book the conservation biology deserves. This book is not only for students or practitioners of nature conservation, but for everybody who wishes to understand our role in nature as human beings. This book gets to you with a detailed enough, realistic and widescope view, written in a way that harmonizes scholar, everyday, and philosophical language. A must read.
Conservation Biology review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Excellent book, either for the serious student or for someone just interested in the subject. However most of the graphics are in black and white, so it takes some getting used to, but there are some nice color plates in the middle of the book. It is generally written well and seldom assumes you know what they are talking about without an explanation of some of the concepts.

The book was sent fairly quickly and packaged very well. The book is new as it was advertized. Would buy from seller again.
Great book

I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in this subject. It has a lot of great case studies and examples. Some conservation biologists call this one "the Concervation biology bible".
