In my office I am encased in bookshelves which hold an accumulation
of literature on ecology that represents the papers and books over
the last 50 years. My students enjoy rummaging through this
collection be cause it contains a record of the history of ecology
and is full of sur prises. Some of the most recent material
pertains to landscape ecology, a subject that literally emerged
fully active at the Veldhoven Interna tional Congress organized by
the landscape ecologists of The Nether lands in 1981. The subject
has developed quickly. It has one or more journals, which publish
short works. It has a series of text books. And, it has just begun
a series on monographs. One of the textbooks in land scape ecology
is titled Principles and Methods in Landscape Ecology and was
written by the Italian ecologist Almo Farina in 1998. My stu dents
like this text especially well because it is direct, to the point
and comprehensive. "Farina" is on loan much of the time. In the
present volume Almo Farina again addresses the subject of Landscape
Ecology but from a different perspective than he took in his
textbook. Landscape in Action focuses on the application of the
princi ples and concepts to problem solving. The two books make a
pair, with the first technical and conceptual and the second
applied to problems of land and water at large scale."
