From famed zoologist Anthony Sinclair, an account of his
decades-long quest to understand one of Earth's most spectacular
ecosystems With its rich biodiversity, astounding wildlife, and
breathtaking animal migrations, Serengeti is like no other
ecosystem on the planet. A Place like No Other is Anthony
Sinclair's firsthand account of how he and other scientists
discovered the biological principles that regulate life in
Serengeti and how they rule all of the natural world. When Sinclair
first began studying this spectacular ecosystem in 1965, a host of
questions confronted him. What environmental features make its
annual migration possible? What determines the size of animal
populations and the stunning diversity of species? What factors
enable Serengeti to endure over time? In the five decades that
followed, Sinclair and others sought answers. What they learned is
that seven principles of regulation govern all natural processes in
the Serengeti ecosystem. Sinclair shows how these principles can
help us to understand and overcome the challenges facing Serengeti
today, and how they can be used to repair damaged habitats
throughout the world. Blending vivid storytelling with invaluable
scientific insights from Sinclair's pioneering fieldwork in Africa,
A Place like No Other reveals how Serengeti holds timely lessons
for the restoration and conservation of our vital ecosystems.
