| Summary: | "The second edition of Biodiversity and Conservation continues to offer an introductory guide through the maze of interdisciplinary themes that combine under the concept of 'biodiversity'. Using examples throughout, the text combines biological sciences with its insights into the origins, variety and distribution of biodiversity, with the analysis of the social and political context, the threats to and opportunities for the survival of natural systems. Whilst retaining its existing structure the new edition reflects advances that have demonstrated the importance of living systems as drivers of environmental services vital to human health and security."--BOOK JACKET. |
